Synopsis
The third book of the Crowns of Nyaxia series opens a new story within the same world of mortals, vampires and gods. Mische, a woman forcibly transformed into a vampire and sentenced to death for killing the vampire prince responsible, is instead tasked with helping Asar, a scarred and battle-hardened bastard prince of the House of Shadow, on a perilous mission to resurrect the god of death by journeying into the underworld. Unknown to Asar, Mische has secretly been ordered by her own sun god to betray him and kill the death god instead, setting her on a collision course between the mission she has agreed to and the duty she has been given.
