*Trigger Warning* This book depicts suicide and mental illness. Some souls are born to break the cycle. Others were never meant to live at all. Seventeen-year-old Ellie Lucas never asked to inherit a legacy of death. But after her mother's mysterious suicide and a cryptic note left behind, Ellie's world spirals into something far darker than grief. Haunted by visions, pulled into weekly therapy sessions that she dreads, and shadowed by a boy from her past with secrets of his own, Ellie learns the truth, she carries divine blood and is fated to die... unless she becomes something worse. Killian, the son of the God of Death, Ankou, was meant to claim her soul. Instead, he watches over her, bound by a curse of his own. As ancient Celtic powers awaken and soul-devouring creatures threaten the balance between Gods and humans, Ellie finds herself caught between destiny and defiance, love and vengeance, the living and the dead. But when the ultimate betrayal reveals someone who once was closest to her true motives, Ellie's fate is no longer hers to mourn-it's hers to rewrite. If your soul was the price for power, would you still fight to be free? Dive into a supernatural thrill ride where mythology meets mortality-and every choice echoes in eternity.
