Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation . . . or her damnation. Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But, although she came to terms with her own imminent death long ago, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood - the sole hope for her town's salvation. But what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more. Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: it's dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire . . . and, in a place already suffering the wrath of a god, more dangerous still to fall in love with one.

Pri zostupe do podsvetia si nevesta slnka musí vybrať medzi svetlom svojho vykúpenia... a temnou láskou, ktorá vzdoruje samotným bohom. Mische stratila všetko, keď bola násilne premenená na upírku – svoj domov, svoju ľudskosť a zo všetkého najzdrvujúcejšie lásku boha slnka, ktorému zasvätila svoj život. Teraz, odsúdená na smrť za vraždu upírskeho princa, ktorý ju premenil, sa jej vykúpenie zdá nemožné.Keď však Mische zachráni Asar, nelegitímny princ z Rodu tieňa s minulosťou rovnako surovou ako jeho jazvy, je nútená vydať sa na misiu horšiu než poprava: cestu do podsvetia, aby vzkriesila samotného boha smrti.Mischin trest však môže byť kľúčom k jej spáse. Na tajnom stretnutí jej boh slnka prikáže, aby pomohla Asarovi v jeho úlohe, len aby ho neskôr zradila... zabitím samotného boha smrti, ktorého mu má pomôcť vzkriesiť.Mische s Asarom musia prejsť zradnou cestou do podsvetia, čeliť skúškam, beštiám a pomstychtivým duchom svojej minulosti.Najnebezpečnejšie zo všetkého je však lákavé volanie temnoty – a Mischina zakázaná príťažlivosť k Asarovi, rastúce puto, ktorým na seba riskuje privolanie hnevu bohov.Čím viac sa blíži deň jej zrady, tým viac sa podsvetie uzatvára a nahnevaní bohovia sú čoraz nepokojnejší. Mische je nútená vybrať si medzi vykúpením slnkom a zatratením temnotou.
