"This isn't a place for beating hearts. This is death, and death is endless." Five people. Five crossing fates. One person's actions change their lives forever. Making a deal with the Fee has its price. In Katriane Dupont's case, it comes with scales and an unlimited amount of power. The consequences of her actions unfold with crippling events, shifting the Realms. Shades cross the Death Realm, and an Angel, determined for answers, clips her wings. Can Kat control what's within her? Or will it consume her? "It's nature, to fight to live, even until your very last breath."
