Fred Wilburn thought his bargain with the crossroads was finally behind him.
He was wrong.
Decades after magic first entered his life through a cursed chessboard, Fred finds himself facing the consequences of every deal, every game, and every choice that brought him here. Death should have been the end.
Instead, Fred is offered another deal.
His life. His beloved Willa. Another chance to have everything he lost.
The price?
Ten thousand souls.
With the rules changed and the stakes higher than ever, Fred must decide how far he is willing to go for the woman he loves. But bargains made at the crossroads have never been gifts, and this time Fred may discover that getting exactly what he wants is the most dangerous outcome of all.
Some debts are paid with money.
Others are paid with Heart and Soul.
