Demon young are cruel, especially to little imps like Az.  No matter where she hides, even deep in the swamplands, her siblings eventually find her and hurt her, ripping off her scales and slicing her wings.  Many demons don’t live to adulthood.  Only the strong survive.  And the clever. Survival isn’t looking probable for Az, with eldest brother, Paquit, determined to rip her to shreds at every opportunity.  When her other brother, Dar, proposes a trip through the angelic gates into the land of the humans, she jumps at the chance.  Finally, a fun adventure safe from Paquit’s cruelty and attacks.  Or maybe not.
