All the other Fates see it, too. And now Rysa’s the Fate at the center of this particularly apocalyptic inferno. Ladon and his companion Dragon survived the Roman Empire.

When they find the newly-activated, terrified Rysa, they see only the potential hell a young Fate might unleash into their quiet, lonely lives. But Ladon quickly realizes Rysa is much more than the daughter of an old enemy — she is his key to forgiveness. Together, Rysa, Ladon, and Dragon must stop a horrific, burning future. Can they overcome their own demons fast enough to save the world?
