Hell to Pay - Aaron, Rachel

. .

Résumé :
It's been one month since Bex's rebel crew took over the Seattle Anchor, and things have been suspiciously good. They're emancipating slaves by the busload, earning money from their thriving Free Market, and basically living the Gilgamesh-free life of their dreams. It's what Bex always wanted for her people, so why does she feel so uneasy? It could be because she's working twenty-hour days desperately trying to free her wrath demons. Or because Gilgamesh has sealed off all the Anchors still under his control, creating a worldwide shortage of the magical quintessence their new fortress needs to stay afloat. Everywhere Bex looks, timers are ticking down on the safe haven she's built for her demons, but the biggest threat is the one she doesn't see, because Heaven hasn't been idle. The man who killed the gods knows how to handle a rebellion. The closer the demons get to victory, the tighter the invisible noose becomes, and when the Queen of Wrath crosses the final line, there will be Hell to Pay....
