Simi watches over the Land of the Dead from the ocean floor. She traded her freedom, her family, and her love to save those she cared about most. Now she serves a new god in this underwater realm of souls. But demons start appearing in her domain. These creatures threaten to destroy everything, and Simi realizes her sacrifice created the very pathway they need to reach the human world. The fate of both realms hangs in the balance. Simi must break the promise that binds her and ally with a cunning trickster god. Together they might stop the demonic invasion. If they succeed, Simi could also heal her broken heart and rediscover who she truly is beneath all the bargains and sacrifices.
