For the son of Hades and Persephone and the daughter of Charon the Ferryman, the trouble is with getting back to the underworld...

Betrothed to the mountain-king, whom she's never met — his realm is so remote that they say it's guarded by a dragon — Kimri is surprised to discover a man she might come to care for.

When a dragon's skeleton washes up on the lonely isle where Rhis lives, she knows that her past role in the dragon-king's death hasn't been forgotten. But although the dragon-king's heir first comes seeking revenge, he finds something else in her...

Driven by her dream of the stars, she ran away to become a pirate — only to find herself smuggling no ordinary cargo: the childhood sweetheart she'd abandoned.

Angels don't belong in the city at the gate to Hell, and even less in a cage in Hellsgate's market...and especially not in a demon's heart. But he will follow her through the threads of a fairy tale and even to the end of the world.

While hunting down a rogue sorcerer, he encounters a woman unafraid of his nature, and for the first time fails to catch his prey.
