A Name For The Living

The Prince of the Underworld was never meant to dream.

For all of eternity, Zagreus, son of Hades and Persephone, lived among the dead. As heir to the Underworld, his life was governed by duty, darkness, and divine laws that could never be broken.

But when a prophecy leads him into the mortal realm, everything changes.

Living under the name Adrian Vale, Zagreus discovers a world unlike anything he has ever known-a world filled with laughter, choices, fleeting moments, and fragile lives. Under the watchful eyes of Thanatos and Hypnos, he learns what it means to live as a human.

Then he meets Lyra Maren.

A mortal woman carrying wounds deeper than any god can see.

What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous. With every passing day, Lyra awakens emotions Zagreus never knew existed. For the first time, the Prince of the Underworld dreams. For the first time, he fears loss.

But divine laws exist for a reason.

The power flowing through Zagreus's veins-the power of rebirth, a gift born from Death and Life themselves-is coveted by gods and feared by fate. One wrong choice could awaken ancient forces, ignite forgotten wars, and bring ruin to both the mortal world and the Underworld.

As prophecy and destiny intertwine, Zagreus must decide what he is willing to sacrifice:

His throne.

His immortality.

Or the woman who taught him how to truly live.

Because some loves can change a life.

And some loves can change the fate of worlds.
