When he and his brothers escape the underworld, Ash figures he can lay low on Earth, avoid trouble, and maybe pluck a few strings in peace. Enter Evangeline, a violinist who has the audacity to see through his curse and also think he’s hot. The problem? Ash isn’t the only one with secrets, and before long, Eva is swept into a supernatural tug-of-war that could literally doom her.
