The stunning sequel to Sonia Tagliareni’s Sunday Times (London) bestseller Deathbringer, following the characters as they navigate new conflicts, turmoil, and romance.

Sylas is neither dead nor alive. Trapped in the Underworld, he has to cross five obstacles to plead his case with the God of Death. After disappearing for centuries, Death has plans of his own, and now that he owns Sylas’ soul, he gives him an impossible choice: renounce being an Aspieri and work for him for a chance to see Viola again.

With DOTS persecuting crossmages, old friends changing alliances, and her found family cracking under the loss of Sylas, Viola is now more alone than ever. And when she escapes her death sentence and breaks out of prison, Viola finds herself in even more dangerous waters: captured by Grimm who has his own dark reasons for seeking her out.

Torn apart by a god and a monster, Sylas and Viola will soon realise that their biggest enemies aren’t the forces keeping them apart, but themselves.
