Aboutรย The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding
รขโฌลI would say itรขโฌโขs a pleasure to meet thee, Prosperity Oceanus Redding, but truly, I only anticipate the delights of destroying thy happinessรขโฌยฆ.รขโฌย
Prosper is the only unexceptional Redding in his old and storied family historyรขโฌโthat is, until he discovers the demon living inside him. Turns out Prosperรขโฌโขs great-great-great-great-great-something grandfather madeรขโฌโand then brokeรขโฌโa contract with a malefactor, a demon who exchanges fortune for eternal servitude. And, weirdly enough, eight-hundred-year-old Alastor isnรขโฌโขt exactly the forgiving type.
The fiend has reawakened with one purpose–to destroy the family whose success he ensured and who then betrayed him. With only days to break the curse and banish Alastor back to the demon realm, Prosper is playing unwilling host to the fiend, who delights in tormenting him with nasty insults and constant attempts to trick him into a contract. Yeah, Prosper will take his afterlife without a side of eternal servitude, thanks. But with the help of his long-lost uncle, Barnabas, and his daughter, Nell, a witch-in-training, it seems like Prosper has at least a fighting chance of ridding himself of Alastor before the demon escapes and wreaks havoc on his family.
Little does Prosper know, the malefactorรขโฌโขs control over his body grows stronger with each passing night and thereรขโฌโขs a lot Alastor isnรขโฌโขt telling his dim-witted (but admittedly strong-willed) human hostรขโฌยฆ
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Alexandra Bracken comes a tale of betrayal and revenge, of old hurts passed down from generation to generation. Can you ever fully right a wrong, ever truly escape your history? Or will Prosper and Alastor be doomed to repeat it?
