Schuyler Van Alen wants an explanation for the mysterious deaths of young vampires. With her best friend, Oliver, Schuyler travels to Italy in the hope of finding the one man who can help—her grandfather. Meanwhile, back in New York, preparations are feverishly underway for the Four Hundred Ball, an exclusive gala hosted by the city's wealthy, powerful, and unhuman—a true Blue Blood affair. But it's at the after-party, a masquerade ball thrown by the cunning Mimi Force, that the real danger lurks. Hidden behind the masks is a revelation that will forever change the course of a young vampire's destiny.

"Love the book"
A P
Aurora Paniagua
"This was an interesting historical fiction that is based on a Nigerian/Yoruba Retelling of Hades and Persephone. I loved how well-written this book was and how the author kept me invested and interested in the main character Ododos. As a Nigerian, I always appreciate books based on our traditions and mythology and I loved how that was woven into the Hades and Persephone aspects. The main character Ododo was a badass female character who wasn't afraid to take risks and do what was necessary to get to the top and I loved and supported her rights and wrongs. There's political and cultural intrigue along with betrayals and adventure which makes the book even more interesting. If you are looking for a diverse historical fiction with a strong female character along with passion and intrigue then you need to read this. Thank you Tor Forge for the arc for an honest review."
