The waking forest has secrets. To Rhea, it appears like a mirage, dark and dense, at the very edge of her backyard. But when she reaches out to touch it, the forest vanishes. She's desperate to know more—until she finds a peculiar boy who offers to reveal its secrets...if she plays a game. To the Witch, the forest is her home, where she sits on her throne of carved bone, waiting for dreaming children to beg her to grant their wishes. One night, a mysterious visitor arrives and asks her what she wishes for, but the Witch sends him away. And then the uninvited guest returns.

An attack shatters Hades’s kingdom, unleashing billions of souls onto the earth and leaving the gods reeling. The Titans strain against Tartarus. Medusa walks free. And a malevolent force long banished begins to gather power. In the chaos, Therese is crushed beneath the ruins of the Underworld—and her soul slips away. Now Thanatos must fight on two fronts: restoring balance to the realms of the living and the dead while racing to find the woman he cannot lose again.

Just when things were looking up for Than and Therese, everything crumbles. Eighteen-year-old Therese Mills has second thoughts about marrying Thanatos when she learns that no god has ever been faithful to his wife.

With Olympus divided and Zeus’s authority cracking, a new threat rises from the depths. Poseidon’s trident has been stolen. Amphitrite has vanished. Ancient enemies gather their strength. And Therese is days away from giving birth. As prophecy tightens its grip around her unborn twins—children destined to restore faith in Mount Olympus—Therese must navigate betrayal, shifting alliances, and a battlefield that spans heaven, earth, and the Underworld.

A ripening mango which must not fall.

"Warum ist dieser Schwan schwarz?", wandte ich mich an Baba Zima. "Er symbolisiert das Böse, welches du in dir trägst", antwortete sie mir mit rauer Stimme.
