Synopsis
A dark romance reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Katee Robert, Amber V. Nicole and the West End smash hit Hadestown.
In the sequel to Adrianne May's EXQUISITE RUIN, Sadare and Daesra find themselves lost in the underworld - and new relationships may complicate their way back to one another.
Sadare and Daesra's problems didn't end in the labyrinth. When Sadare is held in the underworld, Daesra will do anything to find her.
But the god of death can be tempting. With every passing day, Daesra is closer to rescuing Sadare - and she is growing closer to her captor. When the moment of their reunion comes, Sadare will have an unexpected choice to make between the world of the living and that of the dead.
