I'm a demon. My name is Melusine. My comrades are Bashemath, who is female like myself, and Geminian, who is male. And just in case you were wondering, we didn't come from hell - if such a place exists at all... As the global crisis develops in the twenty-first century, a group of special "demon" researchers are sent from a parallel universe to embody themselves as humans and study the situation. However, in the midst of the operation, Wye-Wye, the youngest member of their team, is lost. As she and her comrades do everything demonly possible to find him, Melusine, the team lead, is forced to do the unthinkable - employ the assistance of a "visie" (demon slang for human) - freelance journalist Paige Ballantyne. Paige, however, gives Melusine much more to consider than just the mystery at hand as she becomes intrigued by the benefits of a "visie" life. Together, the team must race the clock to find and bring back Wye-Wye before he can no longer regenerate. In an all-out cross-continent search, the team turns up much more than they bargained for in this urban fantasy mystery adventure.
