Two years of bitter loneliness have passed. The woman I love is now the woman I hate. I lose myself in beautiful women every night and tell myself that fortune reading was nothing but a scam. But then her mother asks me to marry her. I say yes. Now this woman will be mine forever. Maybe the prophecy really is true. I’m committing to a woman that will never love me in return. But it was better to be her husband than allow someone else to take my place. It was better to conquer her body every night than be lonely with someone else. Much better.

They hurt me. They fought for me. They claimed my heart. And now it’s my turn to fight for them. I never meant to fall for the three men who were once my enemies.

And now I am fighting for my life in a series of deadly trials designed for water gods and sea monsters, not broken, powerless nymphs. I was prepared for risk. I was prepared for danger. I was not prepared for Poseidon, or the soul-deep connection I have with him.

Worse, we still have one Trial left to complete in order to save my friend from a rogue Underworld demon, a Trial set by the spirit of Terror.

In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town - including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly.
