Extended description

Seven sins. Seven souls. Seven weapons.

And they're about to reveal a lot more than the reason for the trauma in her past or why the world is ending. Like who are the biggest pawns in a conspiracy to "perfect" mankind.

After they’re through with her, the Shadows give her a choice: to live the life she's always wanted or conquer seven powerful devices that will even the odds. Good thing Diane always has a trick up her sleeve, and a partner in crime…
