Her first death was an injustice. Her second life is a reckoning.

Maryjane Gatsby knew what it was to be caged. Declared "unwell" by a family that wanted her out of the way, she rotted in a mental facility, her sanity a lie constructed by those she should have been able to trust. Her only solace was a child, another patient's daughter, whom she vowed to protect. She died on the day the world ended, killed for trying to keep that promise.

Fifteen years later, she is reborn—not as a victim, but as a weapon.

Tasked by a mysterious power with hunting the demons that have crawled from the ruins, Jane is given a second chance. Her first mission: infiltrate the glittering, corrupt world of the elite by entering a contract marriage with Gage Ford, a retired hockey legend whose fame and influence conceal shadows she’s uniquely qualified to recognize.

Armed with a fiery sword and the power to redeem what others would destroy, Jane must navigate a world where the lines between human evil and demonic corruption are blurred. But to hunt the monsters preying on humanity, she must first confront the demons of her past—the betrayal that broke her, and the ghost of the child she couldn't save.

In a world after doomsday, Jane will forge her own path to redemption… one demon at a time.
