To the gods of the Golden Pantheon, Selene is the radiant Goddess of Light, the embodiment of sunshine. Yet, beneath her brilliant exterior, she harbors a yearning for the forbidden: the eternal, velvet darkness ruled by the God of Death. Haunted by a childhood bargain that keeps him isolated in the Under Realm, the Dark God finds himself irresistibly drawn to the one light he should never touch. Their connection is an inevitable, agonizing dance of enemies-to-lovers tension, fueled by a forbidden romance that defies the laws of their realms. As the gods gather to celebrate the birth of a prince, long-simmering tensions erupt into a dangerous rebellion. The king’s thirst for absolute power threatens to consume everything, forcing Selene and the Dark God to choose between their loyalty to the Pantheon and a love that could dismantle the heavens. Packed with high-stakes blood bargains, ancient prophecies, and simmering chemistry, *Deathsbane* is a gripping prequel that explores the origins of a shattered world. As truths emerge and fates intertwine, the couple must navigate a path where sacrifice is the only currency and every choice carries a devastating price. In a realm where nothing is certain, their love remains the most dangerous gamble of all.
