On the night Kael Varyn is crowned king, Hell comes to collect. His father signed a contract with the Devil's Seven Houses, and the collateral was his own son. The debt collector is Seraphine Vale, a seductive demon who marks Kael with a seal of thorns and gives him one warning: do not fall in love with me. But in this contract, a kiss is a legal seal, and Seraphine is not what she seems. There are two of her. One holds a grudge and a heartbeat. The other wears a wedding dress and calls him husband. To save his kingdom, Kael must win seven infernal bargains, survive the deadly politics of the Houses and uncover what his father hid beneath the palace. Every bargain costs something he can never get back, and every touch from the woman who owns his damnation pulls him closer to the gate his father died trying to close. A dark romantic fantasy of enemies to lovers, forbidden love, betrayal, demons and a kiss that binds the damned.

This is the Seven Deadly Cardinals - seven stories of seven different people, how they embody the heavenly cardinal in its goodness and then how they are dragged to become the opposite sin. No story is the same, no life is similar. The mental strength and capacity of one might be bigger, but that does not equal certainty of getting out from the troubles of life. There might be longing for what we don't have, driving us to do the unthinkable. Strengths becoming weaknesses, weakness breaking into new strength - it's dance of madness, chaos. Not all is set in stone. The stories include a lady that falls for a serial killer, an actor and tailor, the flower shop owner and orphanage, a priest and gangster mob, an office worker and a stalker, landlords son and new tenant, youth centre worker and how things did not go as it should.
