• A single scream challenges the gods...

Three tarot cards whispered a fate that refused to change: The Tower. The Devil. Death.

A door opened for something that wanted more than a life—it wanted a soul.

A tarot reading—meant as a joke—was harmless… until it wasn’t.

The matching butterfly tattoo Sharon and Lily shared was meant to seal their unbreakable friendship.
Instead, it became a target on Sharon’s soul.

Days later, Sharon is dead, and Detroit Detective Jameson Trainor is assigned the case. On paper, it should be simple—motive, means, arrest. But nothing about this crime behaves like it belongs to the living.

As Jameson hunts for answers through Detroit’s shadowed alleys, Lily follows the patterns only grief allows her to see—signs that Sharon isn’t done speaking. The more she listens, the thinner the line grows between sorrow, madness, and something crawling through the dark.

Is Sharon’s passing an ending or a mythic beginning?

Sacred knowledge was never meant for mortals—yet the veil has torn between worlds, and a door now stands open.

Crossing it will change the fate of gods and mortals alike… as the New Olympians begin to rise.
