If she can find it, she can use it to rescue Faven and ensure her safety, but Marcella is not the only one looking for it. The only god that can pass between worlds is the god of Death and he too searches for the sword. Together, they must navigate an intricate web of lies and deceit. But can she trust him and save her sister before she is discovered?
