Shackles of Gold

Samael has been slain. Rhesamyre is missing. And Atticus has returned.

Alastair doesn't know where to start first, but as Rhesa's trail grows colder by the day, he knows he must find her before the hunt for the Child begins once more. Adam and Evelyn may no longer be of the living spheres, but there are plenty of others who would still love to sink their fangs into Rhesa and drain her of the forbidden power that once again courses through her veins. In addition, tensions between the demons of Hell are ever rising without their king, and if Rhesa is not found in time to claim her place as the queen of Hell, civil wars are bound to ensue.

Politics and schemes do not matter to the wolf.

Since waking up in this form, she isn't sure where she belongs or where she will end up, but after befriending beasts much larger than her, she finds safety in their dens. That is, until strangers come searching for her, and she is drawn out of her cave to explore the obsidian land that surrounds her. Through a series of unfortunate events, she finds herself in the clutches of beings that smell of feathers and betrayal, and despite their best efforts, she will not be tamed. She slaughters all she can and nearly loses her life in the process before ending up somewhere sandy and hot, where a lone vagabond bearing the name Atlas finds her and nurses her back to health.

Tensions are rising between the spheres as old enemies rear their ugly heads, and three brothers are reunited while others are torn apart. Very few know the truth of who is to blame, and history is dangerously close to repeating itself. Gods have sent men to war on their behalf before, and it was brutal and bloody. A child was sent to do a god's work, and everything that occurred since was a chain reaction of her love for not only one, but later three.
