Synopsis
In this dark romance reimaging of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, and thrilling sequel to Exquisite Ruin, Sadaré and Daesra are torn apart in the underworld - and new relationships may complicate their way back to one another.
Sadaré and Daesra's struggles go beyond the deadly labyrinth as Sadaré is trapped in the underworld after a new enemy emerges, and Daesra will risk everything to rescue her.
But the god of death can be tempting. With every passing day, Sadaré grows closer to her captor. As she's drawn deeper into his world, the memories of her past - of Daesra - begin to slip away. And the closer Daesra comes to saving her, the less she remembers wanting to be saved.
If Daesra can reach her in time, will she still remember him? Or will their love be the next piece of her to die?
Perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Katee Robert, Amber V. Nicole and the West End smash hit Hadestown.
