The epic sequel to award-winning author Sofi Aguilera's hit fantasy novel An Echo of Oblivion.
What makes a god afraid?
The immortal gods were supposed to be indestructible, but the Lost Coven found a way to kill them. Now the hunt is on, and the gods that for millennia had thrived by drinking human blood for more power have become the prey. That makes them terrified.
Wolf has spent most of his lifetime safeguarding the secret to the gods' immortality. Until the most dangerous coven in the world discovered how to destroy them. Now, in a desperate bid to save his fellow immortals, Wolf must do the unthinkable: infiltrate the Lost Coven. But these half-bloods don't just want the gods dead. They want to steal their power and become a new generation of gods. To stop them, Wolf will have to keep his identity and power hidden-even as the people hunting gods learn to recognize one.
Isa didn't mean to get caught in a war between gods. Hired by private detective Lucian Holt to solve a string of murders in the Bay Area, her expertise in ancient languages made her useful. And that made her a target. Now she's imprisoned by the Lost Coven, who intend to use her to finish what they started. But as Isa's mind unravels, and fragments, she begins to discover a power latent inside her that is slowly awakening. A power that can save the gods, or doom them all.
Dario never asked to be immortal. Turned against his will and forced into one of the most powerful covens in the world, the Coven of the Sun, he has paid a higher price for immortality than most-because the half-blood who turned him, Beatrice, didn't just give him eternal life. She left him a deadly secret he doesn't fully understand. But Beatrice is dead, and only her killer knows the truth. To find it, Dario will have to ally with the coven that was once his family, even as they become his biggest enemy.
As the immortal world descends into chaos, half-bloods must choose: remain loyal to the gods who gave them power, or destroy them for the crimes they have committed.
Either way, ancient gods and half-bloods alike will fall. And new gods will rise.
