Kelly Jones se ve své tvorbě noří do složitých vztahů, zejména mezi rodinnými pouty a uměleckou svobodou. Její historické romány často cestují v čase a prostoru, proplétají se s uměním a odkrývají tajemství, která přesahují staletí. Prostřednictvím svých příběhů zkoumá témata loajality a kreativity, přičemž její styl je obohacen o lásku k cestování a historii umění. Jonesová mistrně propojuje minulost se současností a vytváří poutavé vyprávění.
Důsledky nerozvážných činů se často ozývají i po velmi dlouhé době a chyby dělají i nesmrtelné bytosti. Podruhé v krátkém čase se musí Sandman vydat do Pekla, aby zachránil svou dávnou lásku. Jaké je však jeho překvapení, když namísto očekávané konfrontace s Luciferem obdrží klíče od pekla. Danajštější dar si lze jen těžce představit, avšak to zatím Morfeus netuší. Důsledky tohoto činu ho totiž dostihnou mnohem, mnohem později...
