What can someone who has nothing offer to someone who has everything? She knew the legend of the false gods Sargone and Rayne: of the One who broke a garden open for a beloved, and of the One who ruined the plans of the gods. Their names are not given to infants, fearing the wrath of the True Ones. But once she found herself in Melas—the world of the Dead—she called herself Rayne.
In the kingdom of Dreams and Nightmares, Rayne’s memories were taken from her in exchange for an afterlife. But she isn’t planning to heroically protect the souls at rest. She needs revenge. Only once has someone escaped Melas. Without support from a powerful patron, Rayne’s plan is doomed to fail. Yet the girl manages to find the one even the gods shun. His name is Sargone. She has only one chance. Especially since they hate each other.
