Duet of Death
(2024)(The fourth book in the Cursed Fae of Orphydice Manor series)
A novel by Jes Drew
Sometimes to ascend, you first have to descend . . . Orpheus & Eurydice meets Hades & Persephone in the final installment of this no-spice quartet.
Her husband will traverse the Underworld for her.
But can he rescue her from her fate—
Queen of the dead alongside a different bridegroom?
Salma knew that forbidden love had a price and she determined that she would be the one to pay it. Now she is a willing prisoner in the Underworld, held captive by the creature of shadows who has pursued her for so long, Hades himself. Every night she plays a dangerous game of bargains, buying time until the man she left behind can find a way to rescue to her. But time is the one thing Hades does not have now that the Fates have marked him for death, and his destiny hinges on winning Salma’s heart.
Adom paid a steep price to keep his beloved safe from her wicked bridegroom for so long. Then in one moment, he lost everything. Now the only way to reclaim his wife is to walk through the Twelve Gates to the Underworld, a path that the living were not meant to undertake. Adom will make any sacrifice to redeem Salma from Hades. But is rescue even an option at this point?
With a war between ancient powers lurking on the horizon, the Fates lie in wait to determine who will survive to the new age. In the midst of the birth and rebirth of gods, one must be sacrificed to Death. And a Queen of the Underworld must ascend in the midst of a Pandora Box, pomegranate seeds, and a promise not to look back. But sometimes to ascend, you first have to descend . . .
The finale of a haunting, slow-burn, fade-to-black fae romance with elements of Orpheus & Eurydice, Pandora's Box, and Egyptian mythology. Perfect for fans of Elise Kova's Greek retellings and Sylvia Mercedes's gothic romance.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
