Lehabah’s sacrifice allows Bryce the time she needs to kill Micah. But when the Aux don’t come to arrest her for the crime of killing Valbara’s Governor, Bryce is terrified to realize it’s because the Horn has opened portals for the worst demons of the pit to rise up and terrorize Lunathion. While Bryce attempts to help those who are helpless, most of the Aux are stuck following protocol, and only the canine shifters and some of the Viper Queen’s fae guards come to assist her in her attempt to aid the humans of Asphodel Meadows. In an effort to save Ithan, Bryce sacrifices her ability to secure herself in a bunker and must reveal her deepest secret to close the portals to Hel. But when only one portal closes, and Sandriel makes it clear she has communicated Bryce as a threat to the Asteri, Hunt seizes the opportunity and help from Hypaxia to wreak havoc on the remaining archangel before he leaves to save Bryce.

Despite pleas from her mother and Hunt, Bryce refuses to see a mediwith about the pain in her leg. Her investigation leads her to a new hidden truth, that Danika was somehow involved in Synth and kept the information from Bryce. The pain of this realization does not make the day of Dankia’s birthday any better, nor does the cruel joke Amelie plays on Bryce. While Hunt reacts poorly to this, Bryce uses it as motivation to take care of her wound and assist in the creation of a Synth antidote in the process. Hunt is faced with the consequences of his actions, and while Bryce tends to his wounded body she also uncovers more deadly truths about Synth that put everyone she knows in more danger than ever before.
