Trapped on Mykonos, Azalee makes a deal with a god of death: find him Desdemona, and he'll bring Joel, the love of her life, back to her. But her attempts are thwarted at every turn by an infuriating High Priestess, who touts great political pull and seems to have sinister plans for Azalee's future. Shipped back to Illyria, Joel is imprisoned beneath the Kurios's quarters, where he's unwittingly reunited with his dangerous elder brother, Deimos. Joel wants to rescue Azalee, but Deimos is determined to prove that Joel must break his pacifism to do it. Though on opposite ends of Greece, Azalee and Joel's decisions continue to twine across the threads of fate. Will fate bring them together, or are they destined to remain apart?
