Being the most feared fallen angel makes for a lonely existence.

Lucifer has spent millennia alone, despised by angels and mortals alike. He's developed a tough outer skin to deal with the fear and rage he seems to inspire in everyone he encounters. Then in 1914, in Saint Petersburg—or Petrograd as it was known then—he meets a woman that steals the heart he'd thought he'd lost long ago.

Vera Turnick meets Lord Luka Kolwochak and finds herself instantly attracted to the mysterious stranger. When world events force them to part, she realises just how much she loved him.

Is there a way for love to last centuries? When visiting Saint Petersburg again after a century away, Lucifer finds a familiar face standing in the middle of the ballroom in the Winter Palace. How is it possible? Is Vera's return a sign that God has finally forgiven Lucifer? Does he have enough faith to hope?
