Synopsis
Jinn is an angel trapped in mortal flesh, sent down from the heavens to fight, die and be reincarnated endlessly in the war against evil. Over the years revenge has supplanted justice, and now he lives only to wreak vengeance, whatever the cost, on the dark angel of Asmodeus who killed his lover. A series of brutal occult murders, left like breadcrumbs for him to follow, leads Jinn straight to the dark angel, an invitation to a final battle for the soul of Waterdeep; but will he still be able to choose justice so close to his enemy, after lifetimes of failure? A dark fantasy of fallen angels and desperate rituals by James P. Davis, the sixth and last book of Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep.
