Dangers and magics new and old build to God-like proportions as Sophia and her allies fight for their lives, and their very world, in this steamy, propulsive follow-up to The Ordeals.

The Great Hunt has begun. Still mourning the loss of her friends and mentors, and adjusting to her awakening powers, Sophia has no time to waste honing her abilities. As the waves of attacks by the Cold Ones continue to escalate, the group is led into dangerous territories and an even more dangerous need for vengeance. But when a loved one is attacked by a Cold One, Sophia and her closest allies must turn their attention to a new critical task: finding an antidote.

As Sophia and her friends learn more about the origins of the Cold Ones, they also uncover disturbing secrets being kept by the Crown. It’s clear there’s something even bigger at play than they could have ever imagined. As they navigate the maze of who can or cannot be trusted, new and unknown threats ambush them at every turn.

Sophia has always heard the stories of the Old Gods, long since gone from their world. But what if they weren’t truly gone, just simply biding their time? What if the Great Hunt is only the beginning? For the gods are hungry and have a will of their own, and to save the world as they know it, Sophia will have to face their wrath.
