In the opulent halls of the temple to Olympus, Cyrie is both a holy priestess and an oracle who doesn’t quite belong. Her prophetic vision has been stunted for years—until a chance meeting challenges the very nature of her gift.
As she confers the last rites of a dying nobleman, a god arrives to claim his due: Thanatos, the black-winged reaper of souls. He’s terrifying and captivating and utterly confused as to why Cyrie, a living woman, can perceive his presence. At her beckoning, he’s just intrigued enough to visit her again. And again. And again, until the novelty of her peculiar sight is eclipsed by attraction the two are helpless to resist.
But Cyrie is bound to the Olympians, and the favored gods are not wont to share. Her execution is assured should the temple, or the deities themselves, discover her indiscretions with Death incarnate. It doesn’t matter how Thanatos makes her feel. When their secret crumbles, he’ll steal her soul at their final meeting.
As prophecy unfolds and the temple closes in, Cyrie’s choice may well be her last: to relinquish lovely Death… or succumb to him forever.
