BLOOM doesn’t know why her dreams drip with blood.

Or Nero Ravencrux—Forsaken Academy’s lethally beautiful, morally black heart—watches her like she’s both his salvation and his ruin.

But she knows three things:

Every redhead who looked like her was buried before twenty.

She has nine days until her birthday—the day the gods have marked for her blood.

NERO is the death god masquerading as a man. For millennia, he’s watched Persephone be reborn, only to be slaughtered by the gods who hunt her for sport.

Her clock is bleeding out.

And the only thing more dangerous than his love?
