A note for parents
This is a grief-centered paranormal romance for older teens featuring a gay protagonist navigating loss and romantic entanglement across the mortal and underworld. While the core appeal is the LGBTQ+ love story and mythological fantasy setting, the book deals with mature themes including the protagonist's boyfriend's death and emotional/psychological manipulation in a supernatural context. Language and sexual content are mild to moderate, making it appropriate for mid-to-older teens who are comfortable with complex emotional narratives and some romantic intensity.

Eighteen-year-old August is trying to navigate life after the sudden death of his boyfriend left him devastated, aimless, and feeling guilty. Years after the tragic accident, August mistakenly stumbles into a world beyond his own—the Underworld. Unlike his own gray existence, the underworld is a lavish extravagant place, full of mystery and a flurry of charismatic gods, all curious about August's arrival in their world. Realizing right away the opportunity in front of him, August goes searching for his lost love, guided by Cary, the smoldering, broody ferrier of souls. But the more time August spends down below, the more his intentions begin to blur. Is he visiting this realm to reunite with his soulmate? Or is he desperately, inexplicably, intoxicatingly drawn to Cary? With his own world in pieces and a dangerously seductive realm promising him a new existence at a heavy cost, August must choose: a life with grief or a love that might destroy him.
