One wrong turn changed everything.



On her way to pitch the project to finally launch her career, Freya Rook, an aspiring architect, alone on a deserted mountain road—trespasses onto land claimed by an ancient being, triggering events that transform life as she knows it.



Once known as Camazotz, the formidable Mayan god of death, he's withdrawn from the world and the expectations of his kind. Cast out for questioning divine rules and refusing to fall in line, Camazotz spent years in isolation, watching humanity from the shadows and avoiding the pantheon that abandoned him. Freya should be terrified.



Instead, Camazotz sees something in her no one else ever has—fierce independence, courage against impossible odds, and a refusal to accept the limits placed on her. In him she finds someone achingly, inexplicably familiar. But the cost of joining him will be high. Dangerous. Deadly, even.



Bound by forces she doesn't understand, Freya and Camazotz are pulled into a world of ancient magic, hidden gods, and supernatural politics. As their connection deepens, so does the danger. Old enemies stir. Forgotten powers awaken. And crossing paths with a fallen god comes with consequences that reach far beyond one woman's life.



With her life—and heart—no longer entirely her own, Freya must decide whether she's willing to step into a reality where myths are real, gods are flawed, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
