Orionus is dead. Elara Wren has angered the gods, and the time has come to pay her penance.
When Elara wakes up in the Underworld after her untimely death, she comes face-to-face with gods. She soon learns her time in The Veil will not go unpunished and must make good on the deals she's made with violent beasts-the Shadow Sirens. Elara has to sell her soul to them to live, but what she doesn't realize is that the Shadow Sirens she fears are closer to her than she ever thought. As Elara navigates her new Shadow Siren powers, her debts to the gods, and familial issues, she cannot shake her foolish love for the man who killed her and got her into this mess in the first place.
Rowan Mattias Grim.
Riddled with bloodlust due to the Adonis Crystal, Rowan Grim is sent to the Council for detox. The problem is, Chancellor Starfall has plans for the 51st Bloodwright, ones he's keeping a secret. Rowan realizes that his future military position is not the only trick Chancellor Starfall has up his sleeve, and he isn't the only Council of the Veils weapon that is being sharpened.
Alec Starfall must be stopped, and Rowan will do everything in his power to save the people he loves.
As Elara uncovers secrets about her family and Rowan uncovers the Chancellor's true motives, they must decide what is true and which battles are worth fighting for. One thing's for certain-everything they know is a complete lie, and their bloodlines have more say in their fate than they have ever realized.
