They were daughters of the Sun, serving the gods from morning to night. Illari followed the rules. Her sister broke the most sacred one. Fearing her discovery, Illari sent her twin away. It seemed like the perfect solution--her sister would join an envoy to the sacred Sun Palace and her transgression would be forgotten. The plan was a mercy, a second chance. But the Son of the Sun wasn't looking for more prayers, he came for blood. By the time Illari realized her mistake, it was too late. Embittered and disillusioned with the gods she once loved, Illari swears to be their undoing. But how does one kill a god? Leveraging her knowledge of ancient blood rites, human sacrifice, and forgotten lore, Illari discovers the one thing Supay, the trickster god of death, wants more than human souls. Intrigued by her offer, Supay unknowingly binds himself to the girl. He is forced to help Illari kill a god, but doing so will upset the balance between life and death-releasing an evil so potent that even the god of war trembles. Supay might be the god of endings, but he's also the Keeper of the Cosmos; the only one that can save the world. But what happens when a mortal steals his heart and his power?
