Revenge is fleeting. Glory is forever. In the realms of Emodorea, the fae, sirens, mermaids, witches, and humans dwell together with the Gods. But peace is fleeting - and when the Witch Queen Isadora curses the sirens for disloyalty, her power-hungry plans are laid bare. The first to be crushed will be the fragile humans... Eighteen-year-old Reid knows no home but the streets, no family but his band of fellow orphans. Until the God of Protection whispers in his ear, Reid's existence has gone almost entirely unnoticed. But Emodorea needs a champion. And now Reid has a strange, sarcastic God living in his head and a mission he can't ignore. As the realms prepare for war, the sirens race to fight the crippling effects of the curse, and the witches - even the Witch Queen's own nieces - must choose their side. But with or without allies, Isadora's twisted heart is set on domination - one deadly act at a time.
