What happens after you die?
Well, I'm not pretending to know, but I know somebody who does: Kori Moíras, the heroine of this story.
You see, Kori died. I don't know how; neither does she. And now, she went to the Greek Underworld.
Not only does she have to cope with the fact of eternal imprisonment, she must also discover her bittersweet past, the type with memories and deeds good and bad, the type that creates both powerful allies and enemies.
The type that haunts you until death. And after death, too.

I am free to roam, speak, and live an actual life. I feared that I would forget my mission in favor of this freedom.
