For twenty years, Zora has lived a life of quiet solitude, hidden from a world fractured by the iron-fisted Helix organization. Her peace is shattered the night a mysterious, wounded creature with impossible blue eyes appears on her deck-a creature who reveals himself to be Corbin, a being of mythic power and dangerous secrets.

Corbin pulls her into the truth she never knew: a hidden war rages between Helix and the Pantheon, a society of modern gods created by Helix's own genetic experiments. Now, Zora is no longer just a bystander; she is the target. Helix hunts her with a relentless zeal, for deep in her blood sleeps a dormant, chaotic power tied to the ancient god Set-a power they want to control.

As Corbin, the avatar of the death god Anubis, vows to protect her, Zora is caught in a storm of explosive passion and terrifying revelations. After being captured by the sadistic Helix leader, Kage, she is subjected to a process designed to awaken the monster within. Now, rescued but forever changed, Zora must learn to control the immense power she wields before it consumes her. With Corbin at her side, she must transform from a victim into a warrior, because the only way to win this war is to become the very thing her enemies wanted to create.
