Her soul was marked for death. He was sent to collect it.
When Maaya Hasan is swallowed by her late grandmother's mirror, she awakens in a realm where the gods are dead, demons roam, and her soul has been marked for collection.
Hunted by a powerful shadow demon, Maaya has only one choice to survive: rely on her enemy's heir. Ares is everything she should fear—cursed, dangerous, and far too charming for a man who is paid to kill. But he's offered an irresistible deal, and decides to help her return home for a reward large enough to settle his debt. Together, they must claim the souls of five fallen gods before the shadow demon consumes her.
However, the deeper they travel through a world of illusions and nightmares, the harder it becomes to tell what's real. The line between assassin and prey begins to blur, and the pull between them grows impossible to ignore. Ares is hiding secrets that could destroy her, and something ancient is awakening inside Maaya, a power strong enough to save their worlds or damn them entirely.
But to save the universe, she'll have to sacrifice the love she was never meant to attain.
For all gods covet sacrifice.
