Melissa Stienbeck; College co-ed, beginning occultist, demon acolyte, and hopeful messiah now has one more title to add to the list; homeless. After her confrontation with the Wizard Haden nearly drowned her and her psychotic stalker burned the house down around her ears Melissa has no one else to rely on now. Well except her demonic tutor Malignant, who is dragging her to the big city to fulfill her destiny. Or his, he’s just not very clear as to which just yet. Melissa’s dead land lady Gran is in tow as well, determined to save Melissa’s soul from the demon even as she tries to cope with being a newly born ghost. And the pint sized eating machine that is E-bod is along for the ride as well, hungry as ever. But even with her friends (and demon) around her Melissa will have to hit the ground running in her apprenticeship to Malignant. Haden is still on her trail, and is willing to pull out all the stops now to ensure her and Malignant are destroyed. And just when things couldn't get any worse Melissa and company have caught the attention of a ghostly assassin, one who is looking to step up in the world –with a boost from Melissa’s corpse.
