Summary
“King Mydeimos.” Aglaea interlocks her fingers and rests her chin upon them. “I am willing to give whatever it is you desire in exchange for the safety of this land. I differ from those old fools in that I truly believe you have the power to triumph over Okhema and its alliance.” Her cloudy teal eyes stare at the king intently, and thin, golden threads begin to appear weaving through her fingertips. “We would not be having this conversation if your end goal was to simply conquer, I am stepping in because you have been wrecking nothing but destruction in your wake.”
“You have told me that I cannot give you what you want, I’d like to challenge that notion.” A thin smile makes itself to Aglaea’s lips. “I ask you again, King of Castrum Kremnos, what will it take for you to end this bloodshed?”
Years after Mydei ascends the throne and declares war on Okhema and her alliances, a woman by the name of Aglaea comes to bargain for the safety of her nation. She offers him the one thing he could not resist: The chance to see his bygone lover again and a journey to the Underworld to retrieve his soul.
This is the second part and the sequel to "To Slay a Tyrant".
