Five years ago in dead of night, Willow Belmont fled the gilded prison of her uncle’s estate and took shelter in the walls of Lurido, a city built by sinners and corruption. A petty thief with an artist’s soul, all to get by in the forsaken city that no one can seem to leave. Until a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger lifts the veil on her isolated existence and thrusts her into a world where gods and monsters are more than myth, and a centuries-old war is still ongoing in secrecy. It will test everything Willow knows about her family and her past, and even her heart.
