Born in the firelit domain of the underrealm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic she uses to carry words through the realms. But the gods will kill for power, and Matilda holds a secret. There is a mortal who dreams of her, though they have never met in the waking world. Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life, begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. His request went unanswered, and Vincent became a hardened lord who has long forgotten Matilda, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him. To rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, Matilda will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: finally allowing herself to be loved.
