Cast out of Heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his post and abandoned his kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angeles. Emerging from the pages of writer Neil Gaiman's award-winning series THE SANDMAN, the former Lord of Hell is now enjoying a quiet retirement as the proprietor of Lux, L.A.'s most elite piano bar. But now an assignment from the Creator Himself is going to change all that. If Lucifer agrees to do Heaven's dirty work, he can name his own price -- but both the task and the reward are more than they seem. Thrown into a position of great threat and ultimate opportunity, Lucifer knows that treading a path through this maze will require the harshest of sacrifices. Fortunately for the Devil, it's only a question of who is going to make them.
