If Fate Were in Your Hands

"Happily ever after" was never promised. It was simply marketed well.

Gods argue over tea. Monsters attend family dinners. Humans write laws for beings older than stars. Somehow, this arrangement is called peace.

Then Diana Eris creates Death.

Her name is Eve. She is affectionate, dangerously curious, and only three years old. She is also the first permanent ending in a universe where gods once treated fatal injuries as scheduling inconveniences.

When a foreign god is murdered beyond resurrection and his severed heart emerges from Diana's shadow, the Black Goddess becomes the obvious suspect.

Her only ally is Selena Valmont-the seductive Crimson Sovereign of Law, whose jealousy once helped destroy an entire divine House.

Diana has spent twenty-seven centuries hating Selena, avoiding her, threatening her, and loving her with increasingly poor success.

Now they must survive divine conspiracies, biological horrors, courtroom warfare, dysfunctional immortal families, and enough unresolved desire to qualify as a public safety hazard.

Someone knew Death would exist before Diana created her.

And the villains may be the only ones telling the truth.
