Die Poseidon-Tribunale haben ihren tödlichen Höhepunkt erreicht, und nicht nur mein Leben steht auf dem Spiel. Wenn Atlas nicht aufgehalten wird, sind auch Poseidon, meine Schwester und ganz Aquarius dem Untergang geweiht. Doch die Offenbarungen, mit denen ich konfrontiert werde, sind schlimmer als alles, was uns der wahnsinnige Titan entgegenwerfen kann. Während ich lerne, den Umgang mit meiner Magie zu meistern und versuche, meine Schwester zu retten, erfahre ich den Rest der Prophezeiung des Orakels und was wirklich zwischen Poseidon und Atlas’ Frau vorgefallen ist.

Ich hatte Poseidons Palast aus einem einzigen Grund betreten - um ein legendäres Schiff zu stehlen, und damit zu den dunkelsten und gefährlichsten Tiefen des Ozeans zu segeln, um zu versuchen, meine Schwester zu retten. Und stattdessen musste ich jetzt um mein Leben kämpfen und tödliche Prüfungen bestehen, die für Wassergötter und Seemonster gedacht waren, und nicht eine machtlose und verwirrte Nymphe wie mich. Ich hatte mich darauf vorbereitet, dass ich Risiken eingehen musste. Ich hatte mich auch darauf vorbereitet, dass es gefährlich werden würde.

Er hat mich geheiratet, verbannt und ist jetzt das Einzige, das mich daran hindert, meine Schwester zu retten. Lily verwandelt sich zu Stein. Meine Schwester schläft seit acht Jahren – genauso lange, wie ich die heimliche, verbannte Frau des Ozeankönigs bin. Poseidon ist leidenschaftlich, gnadenlos und unheimlich mächtig. Ich bin nur eine gebrochene Meeresnymphe, deren Magie nie in Erscheinung trat. Die einzige Möglichkeit, Lily zu retten, befindet sich in seinem Unterwasserpalast, und ich habe nichts mehr zu verlieren.

A tragic accident has left Hunter Faraday to be something of a pariah in his community. The blame placed on him is so heavy that finding work is all but impossible. The only option he has is to have his own business driving a hearse for the local funeral homes. This only serves to make the ridicule even worse. The figure of Death invades Hunter’s life, causing chaos in an attempt to make him accept his rightful role in the world of the dead (aka The Underworld). The Reaper in charge sees an evolution taking place as the servants of Death defy him.

Seit ich Nox getroffen habe, ist mein Leben in Chaos verfallen. Champagner und Leichen. So sieht es aus, wenn man mit dem Teufel zusammen ist. Und die nächste Leiche, die auftaucht, wirft noch ernstere Probleme auf. Als ob wir nicht schon genug Probleme hätten. Zwischen einem mörderischen gefallenen Engel, einem mysteriösen, mächtigen Feind, der Nox zu Fall bringen will, und einem Höllenziegenbock haben wir alle Hände voll zu tun. Wir müssen Luzifers gestohlenes Buch der Sünden finden, die verlorene Macht über Stolz und Neid zurückgewinnen und dann den Fluch aufheben, der uns daran hindert, zusammen zu sein.

Eines hatte ich nicht erwartet, als ich die Nacht mit dem Teufel verbrachte: am nächsten Tag wachte ich mit Flügeln auf meinem Rücken auf. Aber ich hatte auch nicht erwartet, in einen zweiten Mord verwickelt zu werden - dieses Mal an jemandem, den ich tatsächlich kannte, oder von Kreaturen aus der Hölle angegriffen zu werden und herauszufinden, dass meine Eltern Geheimnisse epischen Ausmaßes vor mir verborgen haben.
