Viktorya Dmitriev. The Reaper. The Angel of Death. The names were heralders of destruction and trouble. Same as him. Kaz Brekker. Dirtyhands. The Bastard of the Barrel. They were notorious. She just as much as he. Two of the most dangerous criminals the Barrel had to offer, and yet, neither could stomach the thought of touching the other without the urge to retch. What happens when these two haunted, horrible creatures that crawled from the cracks between the shadows themselves fall in love? And somehow worse...with each other? As they dive head first into a treacherous heist, hoping to dismantle Pekka Rollins' empire of misery, Viktorya and Kaz's friendship that developed through their shared pain deepens with every step closer to their ultimate goal. Yet, the issues of their traumatic pasts loom on the horizon. Neither of them can fully bring themselves to the most intimate parts of a partnership. Touch. While Kaz is one of the only men Viktorya trusts with her life, body, and mind after her horrors at the Sweet Shop, his own aversion to the feeling of skin is a problem in itself. It is instances like this that will continue to threaten to pull them apart at every turn. But a vow they made as weak, broken children will always tug them back together again. "Always by your side....no matter the storm" "Your battle is my battle. We fight together" "For those we have lost. For those we love."

Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.
