WHEN THE GODS THREATEN TO RETURN, THE CAREFUL BALANCE BETWEEN THE DAEMONS AND DEMIGODS CRUMBLES, AND WAR THREATENS THEIR VERY EXISTENCE.
Many of the demigods believe Octavia is the key to the gods' return. If they kill her, the gods will remain imprisoned. The daemons believe she is the key to their survival. If she dies, all hope for the future will vanish with her. Octavia doesn't want to believe either version, but when she is ruthlessly stalked by something menacing, she fears they both might be right.
The only thing keeping her sane is her mates. Octavia never expected to find love, and when one of her men gets in trouble, she risks everything to keep him safe—even if it will break her heart.
As the gods rise, war hovers on the horizon, and the guys are afraid Octavia will sacrifice her soul to protect them. The guys make a deal with the devil himself to keep from losing her, but they aren't sure it'll be enough. Their love is strong enough to defy the gods—even death itself—but only if they're willing to gamble their lives . . . and the fate of the world.
