Es ist gefährlich, einem gebrochenen Herzen Blut anstelle von Liebe zu geben. Als Mische in einen Vampir verwandelt wurde, verlor sie alles – ihr Zuhause, ihre Menschlichkeit und die Liebe des Sonnengottes, dem sie ihr Leben gewidmet hatte. Nun ist sie zum Tode verurteilt, weil sie den getötet hat, der sie gewandelt hat: den Vampirprinzen. Und ihrer Strafe zu entkommen ist ausgeschlossen. Dann wird Mische in letzter Sekunde gerettet – von Asar, dem Bastardprinzen des Hauses der Schatten.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible. But when Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his scars, she's forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.
