Defiance has earned Ariel, Jenna, and Iris the wrath of Persephone. Stripped of power and armed with nothing but the clothing on their backs, they are cast into the hands of the vampiric Countess Elizabeth Báthory. There, they must endure days of bloodletting, torment, and psychological manipulation. As Ariel teeters on the brink of becoming a monster herself, only the intervention of her AI companion, Ghost, prevents her from turning on the ones she loves.
Escaping through the sewers of Cachtice Castle, the trio finds not freedom, but Hades' courtroom-where divine judgment awaits. Broken, defiant, or nearly lost, each must confront Persephone's wrath, Hestia's compassion, and their own inner darkness as they struggle to reclaim their bodies, their minds, and their souls.
