Book two in The Borrowed Time trilogy. Emperor of the afterlife, Octavius, is trapped in hell after venturing into the underworld to rescue his beloved empress, Helena, and no one knows whether he is alive, dead, or something in between. Summoned back from five years of exile, Mary, Jethro and Fats are tasked by Princess Livia with a perilous mission to find him and bring him home. Left behind, Rico struggles with the loss of Mary, while a mysterious companion sent by Livia tests the limits of his devotion and the power of soulmates. All their destinies lie in the hands of the Fates, with each of them having to face internal and external demons in order to survive.
