BLURB

Mische made the ultimate sacrifice to save those she loves – and plunged the world into an eternal night. Now, imprisoned by the gods and obsessed with revenge, Asar is desperate to find her again.

When a goddess offers them a final path to redemption – and back to each other – Asar and Mische embark on an extraordinary mission. Together, they must seize the power of the god of death so Asar may do the ascend to true divinity.

Their journey will take them through mortal and immortal realms, alongside both old friends and ruthless enemies. But as the underworld teeters on the brink of collapse and the gods prepare for a war, Asar and Mische must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the power to defy death. In a game of vengeful gods and ancient betrayals, there are some debts that even love may not be able to repay.

Back with Mische and Asar after the shocking ending of the last book.

I can tell you this book broke my heart in some places and made it sing in others!

What also made my heart sing was the deep love between Mische and Asar, a tale as old as time!

Nyaxia is back! I have a hard time with this character. Whilst she is inheritantly evil, I can also sort of see where she is coming from with her need for vengeance.

I did feel like this went on a bit, but I did LOVE seeing some old characters…..especially a dead one who has his redemption arc! 

Oh, and also Luce is my fave ever! Bring on Septimus!
