Synopsis
When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain's daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened: they fell in love. Set immediately after the events of The Isles of the Gods, the conclusion of the duology follows them as they journey to save the world from the wrath of the god of risk, Macean, while gods return to their world, magic and sacrifice collide, and lovers, gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?
