Part of Dark-Hunter, book 27
First published 2018
Urian of the House of Aricles has existed for millennia, deceived about his true nature from birth. A vengeful goddess tore him from his original mother and placed him with another woman who raised him as her own son. Gods, Daimons, and Dark-Hunters have all lied to him and used him as a weapon. He was trained to kill and learned to hide his true self while serving evil purposes. When sent to murder one particular woman, he hesitated because he could not bring himself to kill her. That woman was Phoebe, and his failure appeared to cost her life. Now Urian learns the ultimate betrayal: Phoebe actually survived and remains trapped somewhere. He must journey into the depths of Hades itself to find and save her. Only one ally stands with him, but she comes from an enemy race, making her loyalty questionable. The path to saving Phoebe will burn away whatever remains of his soul. If he fails to rescue his wife and uncover the truth, both the human and Daimon worlds will fall into destruction.
