Daggers drawn. It's time for war. I wouldn't be done until I held the heart of a god in my hand. Chiara is a captive of Vitus, the god of life. He plans to kill her and in doing so shatter the barrier between the godly and mortal realms. If he succeeds then everything Chiara knows and loves will be destroyed.

And – if she can escape Vitus – the mortal realm's only hope. But even hope might not be enough when it comes to war with the gods. For Chiara and Callum to win, Vitus must die and only a god can truly kill a god. It seems nothing can save them, except perhaps death itself...
