A Las Vegas gambler with supernatural luck is swept into a world-ending conflict between demons, angels, and otherworldly shadow-creatures, in an action-packed, terrifying urban fantasy for readers who enjoy Stephen King, Jim Butcher, and Richard Kadrey. The lone survivor of a tragic plane crash, Trent Hawkins inherited a supernatural lucky streak that made him famous, and hated, in the poker circles of the City of Sin. It wasn't long before the eyes in the sky threw him on the blacklist and chased him out of town. Now, after years away, Trent returns to Las Vegas, and walks right back into trouble. As a serial kidnapper terrorizes the city, Trent and his wife rescue an unusual thirteen year-old girl, only to find themselves caught in a fallen angel's plot to cleanse Las Vegas with an unholy blizzard. The neon goes dark, Vegas freezes, and Trent is forced to make terrible sacrifices in order to protect his new charge as they run through the demon-infested shadows of a frozen city. Will Trent stand up to the monsters of a dark world he never knew existed? Or will he fail, leaving our world in ruins beneath a blanket of shadow and ice?
