Kirian has made a sacrifice. And Odette will make a deal. No one knows what the consequences of a magic capable of devouring light will be, but if there is one thing that Gaueko's Daughter is clear about, it is that she will not let anyone else be taken from her. Dark alliances intertwine as the god of lies weaves his truth and the god of Death traces black crosses over the names of those who dare to defy him. Darker creatures, treacherous Crows, Lions with masks, an impossible battle and a final act of love. The end of this story could be about to plunge everything into the shadows.
