Everything is broken
Vasalie's sacrifice saved the man she loves, but in saving her, Anton made a pact with the Goddess of death that left him forever changed: cold and unfeeling, he recollects nothing of their bond. The Goddess wanted him for herself and now she has him.
The Kingdom is in disarray, with factions forming and war now closer than ever. Vasalie's father has manoeuvred himself into a position of power and vows to retrieve his daughter so as to marry her off to secure his family's position. But the greatest change is in Vasalie herself: her time with Death has left her with a connection to the underworld ' her body's failings now perhaps a strength at last...
Vasalie must work fast to convince Anton of their love and stop their world from falling into war and death. To do so, she must learn to master and accept herself, in a journey that will take her to hell and back for love.
