Sing, O Muse, a song of Death and the maiden….
Deina is trapped. Bound to the House of Hades as a Soul Severer, she’s responsible for shepherding souls through death to their rightful place in the Underworld. So when the tyrant Orpheus offers fortune and freedom to whichever Severer can bring his wife, Eurydice, back from the dead, Deina jumps at the chance.
But to suceed she must enter into an uneasy alliance with a band of fellow Severers: a fighter, a scholar, a singer and a thief. Together they will journey into the deadly realm of Hades. Deina’s freedom is within reach – but what will it take to claim it?
The Underworld awaits…
