Synopsis

Sometimes you have to bite the hand that feeds you.

Lorena Adler has a secret—she holds the power of the banished gods, the Noble and the Vile, inside her. She has hidden her entire life—both from the world and from her past. She’s content to spend her days as an undertaker in a
small town, marry her best friend, Julian, and live an unfulfilling life so long as no one uncovers her true nature.

But when the notoriously bloodthirsty crown prince comes to arrest Julian’s father, he immediately recognizes Lorena for what she is. So she makes a deal—a fair trial for her betrothed’s father in exchange for her service to the crown.

The prince is desperate for her help. He’s spent years trying to repair the weakening Door that holds back the Vile … and he’s losing the battle. As Lorena learns more about the Door and the horrifying price it takes to keep it closed,
she’ll have to embrace both parts of herself to survive.

I’ve should have a lot to say on this one and I wanted to love it, but I just didn’t.
