In her first life, mortal Kore trusted the gentle god Lykos—and died in the River Styx. Reborn on the night of her sacrifice, she rejects him and chooses Hades, the feared Lord of the Underworld. She can hear every god's thoughts but his, while he protects her as if he has waited centuries for her return. As deadly schemes and buried memories close in, Kore must uncover who she truly is—and why the Underworld seems to remember her.
