Acheron carries the weight of eleven millennia on his shoulders. Born divine but cursed into mortal flesh, he suffered through a human lifetime filled with cruelty and rejection. His death as a mortal unleashed catastrophic forces that nearly obliterated the world. Against his wishes, he was restored to life and tasked with protecting the very species that had tormented him. For thousands of years, he has battled threats to human survival while guarding secrets from his agonizing past. Now a woman enters his life who could destroy everything he has built. She represents both his greatest vulnerability and his only hope. Ancient enemies emerge from the shadows, joining forces to eliminate both Acheron and this dangerous woman. The coming battle will determine whether humanity survives or falls into darkness. Acheron must choose between protecting his carefully constructed defenses and embracing the risk this woman represents.
