"The worst has finally happened. It all comes back to the devouring contagion that's left a shrine of dead stars in its wake and the unbreakable bond between Hel and Bast that will be either their saviour or their death knell. It's not just their lives and their world that hangs in the balance. It's everything"--Author's website.
