Part of Dark Olympus, book 6
First published 2024
Eurydice Dimitriou has spent years as the good sister in a powerful family. Her ex-lover Orpheus Makos destroyed her heart, and now she wants to forget him completely. She turns to Charon Ariti, who serves as Hades's lieutenant in the lower city. Charon has dedicated himself to his duties for years, but he decides to claim something for himself. He offers to teach Eurydice new pleasures, yet questions remain about her emotional availability. Meanwhile, Orpheus refuses to accept their separation. The former golden boy of the upper city has fallen far from his previous status. He will attempt any strategy to win Eurydice back, even accepting that she might return with another man. The three face complicated feelings and uncertain paths forward. External threats compound their personal struggles when enemies breach Olympus's protective barriers and attack the lower city. Their romantic entanglements become secondary concerns as danger surrounds them.
