Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by. But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

One thing has become incredibly clear to Alexis and Kieran, if they hope to last in the arena of Demigods, they'll need a more robust defense team. They must take two incredibly dangerous journeys, seeking the prized talents other Demigods would kill for. Except, there is a reason other Demigods don't have these magical workers—they are as ruthless as they are dangerous, and the last thing they want is to be on a Demigod's team. If that isn't enough, Alexis has received an invitation from Demigod Lydia, the only Hades Demigod who hasn't openly declared war.

Everything I dared dream of for my life is scorched to ash when I'm forced to marry our enemy: the icy dragon king of Andrathya. My father believes marriage can bridge the gap between us and the beasts we once considered allies. We once held soul bonds with those very dragons before a curse shattered the world we had known for centuries, leaving war imminent on the horizon. I think him a fool. I'd rather die with a sword in my hand than on my knees begging for mercy.

My story? It’s wrought with violence. Strewn with blood. Dominated by desire. My stepmother, the evil queen, hates me. She wants me dead but hasn’t killed me yet. At her insistence, a never-ending line of repugnant suitors vie for my hand, but when I decline each and every one, the evil queen punishes me...severely. She will stop at nothing until I’m sold or dead.

Ihre Sünde ist für ihn wie ein Rausch. In Virtue gibt es zwei Regeln. Erstens: Traue keinem Sündenmagier. Und zweitens: Verlasse nie den Pfad der Tugend. Kaya hat sich immer vorbildlich an diese Regeln gehalten. Bis zu jenem Tag, an dem sie eine Einladung in den königlichen Palast erhält. Die Prinzessin bittet Kaya um ihre Unterstützung, denn der Sündenmagier Caden Nox hat nach ihr verlangt. Der König der Unterwelt, wie er in Virtue genannt wird, ist bereit, seine Mitmagier zu verraten. Aber nur unter einer Bedingung: Kaya muss für ihn eine der sieben Todsünden begehen.

In Virtue tobt ein unerbittlicher Krieg zwischen jenen, die weiterhin gegen die Sünde kämpfen, und jenen, die sich von den alten Tugenden abwenden wollen. Plötzlich ist Kaya gezwungen, sich für eine Seite zu entscheiden.
