Kailer has everything he's ever wanted; Azreah. Unfortunately for Kai, Azzy isn't his to have. Faced with competition for her affections, Kai finds his fragile home under attack from Akkadian's determined to free his prisoner. For Azzy, finding a way out of Sumer is not her number one priority. Topping her list is the ritual that will allow Eli to experience the death he craves. During the ceremony, a brief window will allow her to separate herself from Kai permanently. With the help of familiar faces, Azzy tries to stand her ground on enemy territory. With plenty of new torments to overcome and lots of new information to process, Azreah must decide if the outcome is worth the effort or if giving up is the best course of action. After all, death is not always the worst thing.
