Renaissance Raines has found her place among the psychopompsโthe guides who lead the souls of the recently departed through the Seven Gates of the Underworldโand done her best to avoid the notice of gods and mortals alike. But when a young boy named Ramses St. Cyr manages to escape his foretold death, Renai finds herself at the center of a deity-thick plot unfolding in New Orleans. Someone helped Ramses slip free of his destined endโsomeone willing to risk everything to steal a little slice of power for themselves.
Is it one of the storm gods thatโs descended on the city? The death god whoโs locked the Gates of the Underworld? Or the manipulative sorcerer who also cheated Death?ย When she finds the schemer, thereโs gonna be all kinds of hell to pay, because there are scarier things than death in the Crescent City. Renaissance Raines is one of them.
