This is book four in the Eternal Guardians series and focuses on Orpheus, the brother of Argonaut Gryphon, and Skyla, a Siren who works for Zeus. Gryphon's body has been taken over by a warlock and his soul sent to the Underworld to be tortured for eternity. Orpheus plans to steal a precious element and trade it for Gryphon's soul, and Skyla has been sent to kill him before he can. However, when they meet, she recognizes him as the reincarnation of someone from her very distant past. Will she be able to go through with her mission now that she recognizes him as the man she used to love?
The story is much more complicated than my description, and Naughton builds a world full of dangerous creatures based on Greek mythology. Her description of the Underworld is especially well done and full of suspense, and Orpheus and Skyla are another well matched couple. Still, I would like to have known more about her past. I highly recommend this series! 402 pages.
