One fateful night, Zariah Aviv Xiu accidentally spills a special wine only to realize she had somehow summoned a deity from the realms of the unknown.
This version of a 'God' portrayed perfection throughout Zariah's household. One that brings a whole lot of satisfaction. Rendering her the idea that she has already 'seen it all'. If death takes her today, she's willing to go.
However, this deity doesn't seem to know the road back to where he came from. So he makes a deal with Zariah.
"Either you help me out, or you're stuck with me for eternity."
"Eternity?" She scoffs. Exaggeration much? Who does he think he is? Cousin of grim reaper?
A little smirk stretches the side of his lips. "As a matter of fact sweetheart. Yes."

The gods are dying and and only Hades knows why.
There is nothing quite as frustrating as being the last person to know what's going on. Most days it seems like the whole world knows something Autumn doesn't-the whole Underworld, anyway.
For 18 year-old Autumn, the biggest obstacles in her foreseeable future are paying for college and staying out of trouble. She doesn't need gods of half-forgotten myths swooping in to alter her course-but Hector, the second incarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, has never been one to sit back and watch the world burn.
Enter Autumn, unknowing, untrained, unwilling Fury: the perfect secret weapon in a secret war of the gods. Hector and Autumn strike a bargain but the more Autumn gets to know the inhabitants of the Underworld, the further she gets from her all-too-human problems. Who can think about homework or consequences when all of the gods are dying?
With the help-or the hindrance-of the Fates, Autumn must train with Harpies, Furies, and other creatures formerly of myth to win an impending war for Hector, restore the ambrosia to Olympus, and be home in time for graduation. All in a Tuesday's work.
