Synopsis

Gaia Draven is imprisoned in a realm forbidden to mortals with no memories of who she is, how she got there, or why an ancient horror masquerading as a beautiful man has decided to keep her alive.Sorin is the prison's most ruthless, powerful, and enigmatic resident. He follows his own code of ethics and doesn't bother to hide the monster leashed behind his smile. He offers Gaia a bargain: he will keep her alive and help her uncover what she’s lost, but in return, she must surrender to his wicked demands and help him settle an old debt.Her past returns in pieces, and what begins as a search for answers quickly escalates into a perilous quest to regain her identity. Every memory draws her closer to an immortal from the ruins of her old life, revealing a complex history that ignited a vicious and bitter feud.Left with no other option but to form a tense partnership with Sorin, Gaia must rediscover the power that was forced upon her the day the world split open, unveil the truth about the merciless god that raised her, and unravel the reason she was made to forget.In a rich world of ancient gods and Void-born magic, Gaia will walk the tenuous line two ancients have drawn in blood… or risk losing what remains of herself and her heart in the process.Two timelines.
Two dangerous games.One human pawn with the power to conquer two titans.
