When plus-size gardener Evelyn dies, she never expects to awaken at Interguide--an ancient academy ruled by gods that teaches mortals to awaken their divinity.
But Evelyn's arrival threatens a thousand-year-old balance.
Whispers spread that she may be a rare Life Resonant, a goddess capable of claiming the long-dormant Life realm and Earth. For a thousand years, the gods of Death have held the realms in their grasp, and they have no intention of surrendering their power.
Especially not to her.
Blaine Reddington is Interguide's golden heir: darkly charming, dangerously persuasive, and destined to become the next god of Death. He knows exactly what Evelyn's awakening could cost him.
His solution is simple: burn her down.
He sabotages her reputation, turns masters against her, and pushes every boundary between hatred and desire. But the closer Blaine gets, the harder it becomes for Evelyn to tell where his cruelty ends and his fascination begins.
Then Evelyn discovers her arrival at Interguide wasn't an accident.
Fragments of a forgotten life begin surfacing. Memories someone went to great lengths to erase. A life she lived before death. A connection to Interguide that predates her own understanding.
Something is amiss at the academy.
Students are disappearing.
As Evelyn battles the perilous draw of Blaine and a more forbidden desire for one of Interguide's most dreaded masters, she begins to see that the biggest danger might not be the gods vying for control of her fate.
Someone is watching her from the shadows.
Waiting for her to remember.
Waiting for the truth to surface.
Waiting for Evelyn to become the next body in Interguide's morgue.
