Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a

vampire–her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of

the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death

for murdering the vampire prince who Turned her, redemption feels

impossible.

But when Mische is saved by Asar, the

bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his

scars, she’s forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to

the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.

Yet, Mische’s punishment may be the key to her salvation. In a secret

meeting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to

betray him… by killing the god of death.

Mische and

Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials,

beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. But most dangerous of

all is the alluring call of the darkness–and her forbidden attraction to

Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks invoking the wrath of gods.

As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in and angry gods grow

restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the

sun or the damnation of the darkness.
