When Hanna Heikkinen’s estranged father dies, her reluctant journey to Northern Finland takes a bizarre turn. His body is missing, and a mysterious man named Rasmus reveals the truth: her father, a powerful shaman, is imprisoned in Tuonela, the Realm of the Dead, by Tuoni, the God of Death.
Desperate for a second chance with her father, Hanna ventures into the underworld with Rasmus. Battling bloodthirsty creatures and the living dead along the River of Shadows, Hanna finally reaches Death’s haunted kingdom—only to be captured by the God of Death himself.
Intrigued by her strength, Death offers a chilling bargain: marry him, and her father will go free. But as Hanna’s sacrifice unravels, so does her heart. In the land of the dead, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
