Bridgerton meets A Court of Thorns & Roses in this sweeping Regency romantasy, in which a mortal bride-to-be who fled the Underworld must return to a glittering court of gods—and the dangerous, silver-eyed god of death who still claims her as his.

Death wants her. Love won’t let her go.

England, 1815. Years after an impossible abduction shattered her world, Miss Phoebe Browning prepares to wed and begin the ordinary life she has fought hard to reclaim. Once, she vanished from the road outside a glittering ball and found herself in the Underworld—a realm of old gods, arcane bargains, and the silver-eyed god of death who bound her to him as tightly as fate. Phoebe escaped at a price she dares not speak of, and has sworn never to belong to that world again.

Now living quietly among distant relatives at Stoke Hall, Phoebe means to put the past behind her. Her betrothal to a charming military officer promises safety, respectability, and a future among the living. Yet the closer her wedding day comes, the more she feels the pull of the realm she left behind—in dreams of unending halls, in strange magic seeping into the mortal world, and in the silvered gaze of Lord Aron, who once called her both beloved and prisoner.

When a single turn on the road to the altar sends Phoebe tumbling back into the dazzling, perilous Underworld, she finds herself at the center of a court that has not forgotten her escape.

The gods are divided, old alliances are breaking, and the mortal girl who slipped through Death’s grasp has become both scandal and prize. As rival powers rise, Phoebe must choose between the life she fought to live and the god who claims her still—before a war between realms destroys them both.
