Desperate to save them, she accepts a marriage of convenience ... to Therion, an underworld god worshipped by Lark's isolated coastal hometown.Her only hope is to seek help from Alastair Felimath, the brilliant, arrogant boy who was her first heartbreak, and his alluring older sister, Camille.As the trio delves into the folklore of the gods, Lark falls under the spell of the Felimath siblings.
