When a young woman discovers she is the center of a mythic war, she must fight external monsters while battling the intrusive thoughts and trauma that define her internal reality.

For five years, Ava has survived by following one simple rule: don’t look back.

She works the late shift at a Seattle bar, drowns the nightmares in cheap wine and cigarettes, and ignores the pieces of herself that refuse to stay buried. Whatever happened before… doesn’t matter. Until one night, Ava wakes surrounded by strangers who know her name, her past, and the truth she’s spent years running from. Ava isn’t human. She is the forgotten daughter of Hades and Persephone—and her memories weren’t lost. They were stolen.

Now she’s being pulled into a hidden world of ancient gods, impossible creatures, dangerous bargains, and a destiny someone has been willing to kill to keep buried. Waiting for her there is a man with golden eyes who remembers the woman she used to be… even if she doesn’t. As old enemies close in and buried truths begin to surface, Ava must decide whether to reclaim the life that was taken from her—or destroy the world that stole it.

Because the greatest lie she was ever told…was about herself.
