Hoffen Lattimer has it all: a wife who loves him, a gorgeous baby girl and his band is poised for the big times. He has no idea magic is real when he runs into a sorcerer at the bar that night. The next thing he knows, he’s in Hell and he can turn into a hellhound. Now he’s got a fight on his paws if he ever wants to see his wife and daughter again.

Though she doesn’t much feel like celebrating on the anniversary of her husband’s disappearance, Faith Lattimer goes to her sister’s Autumn Equinox party. When another guest conjures a huge black dog from very odd smoke, it doesn’t take long for Faith to discover there’s more to the party trick than sleight of hand and more to the dog than meets the eye. Hoff might be back, but it’s going to take a lot more than magic to trust him, and her heart, again.
