She opened the gate. He plans to crown himself through it.
Marked by the Goddess of Blood, Syerin Cayde thought unlocking the ancient gate would set the world free. Instead, it tore the fabric between realms, unleashing shadows, stirring gods-and waking Varethin.
Once ruler of Tenebris, Varethin is no Origin Lord. He's a false god with a stolen throne, and now, he wants more: to shatter the divine order and replace it with one of his own. To do it, he needs Syerin's mark. Her blood. Her death.
But Syerin is no longer just the key. She's becoming something else entirely.
To stop him, she must reunite the broken gods, close the gate she tore open, and confront the power rising inside her. But when the only person who truly understands her darkness-Riven Knox, marked by the God of Death-comes back into her life, the lines between love and destruction begin to blur.
The gods are watching.
Varethin is rising.
And this time, divinity may not survive her.
