In a world where the gods dictate fate, death is never final—so long as you’re willing to pay the price. Caius Valerian was once a revered warrior, but his world shattered the day Seraphine, the only woman he ever loved, was burned at the stake for forbidden magic. Stripped of purpose and drowning in grief, he turns to the only being capable of defying death itself—Erebus, the god of the underworld. The price? A soul for a soul. To resurrect Seraphine, Caius must become a Harbinger, a hunter bound by an unbreakable Death Contract, tasked with reaping a hundred souls. At first, the mission is simple—kill, collect, and resurrect. But as Caius stalks the night, cutting down criminals, traitors, and those marked for death, the truth behind the contract begins to unravel. The gods are playing a far more dangerous game than he ever imagined. Each soul he collects restores a fragment of Seraphine’s essence, yet something is… wrong. She is not as he remembers—her memories are fractured, her warmth faded, and whispers of an ancient betrayal surround her death. When the final name on his list is revealed—Nyx, the goddess of life herself—Caius realizes he has been nothing more than a pawn in a divine war. If he follows through, the world will spiral into darkness. If he refuses, he will lose Seraphine forever. But in a world where fate is written in blood, Caius refuses to let the gods decide his ending. As alliances shift and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Caius must unearth the true purpose of the Death Contract before it’s too late. With the fate of the living and the dead at stake, he faces one final, impossible question: How far will he go to bring back the woman he loves? And at what cost?
