Aurea sees him the day her grandfather dies-the Reaper, silent and watchful, eyes full of memory. She tries to forget, but death brings him back, and forgotten lives begin to burn through her skin.
Once, she was Naari-a goddess, a phoenix, worshipped and feared. She loved Death so fiercely, she sacrificed entire villages to keep him. Their bond was forged in passion, shattered by betrayal.
Now, she's human. Mortal. But the soul tie still binds them, and the fire that once consumed gods stirs again.
If they defy the Fates this time, it won't end in rebirth. It will end in ruin.
