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 metting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to betray him...by killing the very death god she'll help resurrect. Mische and Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials, beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness--and her forbidden attraction to Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks involving the wrath of the gods. As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in, and angry gods are growing restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the darkness.
