Summary
Eliott Demaury has been on the run for the past eight years of his life, but he's tired of running.
He lives in a world where Gods take human vessels, and on his eighteen birthday, he was marked to be the reincarnation of Hades, God of the Dead. His mother, foreseeing what a terrible toll it would take on her son to have to live in the Underworld for the rest of his life, a place without sunlight or change, sacrificed herself to hide his powers from the Fates, the terrifying entities who handle all the Gods' business on Earth. Before dying she told him one thing : don't look for your Persephone, because once you find her, you will not be able to resist your calling.
And ever since then, he's been working as a lowly exorcist, casting out the restless dead instead of guiding them. But this loneliness is, well, killing him. So he decides to take a job in New Athens, in the anonymity of the big city, for a rich CEO who has a ghost problem.
He tells himself that one night out at a club can't hurt that much, right ? And after that he will be too busy, anyway...
He should have known. Fate always finds a way.
