Synopsis
The fifth book of the Crowns of Nyaxia series is set in a world locked in eternal darkness, torn apart by a decade-long war between humans and vampires. Kyrene, a bounty hunter who wields a blessed sword granted by the goddess of justice, suffers a devastating loss and commits a crime that makes her hunted by both mortals and divine beings alike. She strikes a dangerous bargain with Septimus, a silver-tongued vampire prince with hidden depths, to help her hunt down and eliminate the gods themselves, and the two must navigate old prophecies and curses as they pursue this impossible task together.
