The Deepest Wounds Are Self-Inflicted.

Stuck in a downward spiral of self-pity and guilt over the tragic aftermath of battling a fallen angel, Diomedes cannot bring himself to face the world, let alone the woman he failed to protect. Hiding from everyone, including his benefactor Athena and his responsibilities at the Métis Foundation, he finds solace in someone unexpected.

But avoidance and distractions are not enough. The one thing he cannot escape is trouble. Despite Diomedes's efforts to fall off the grid and forget, a familiar but treacherous figure tracks him down to offer a dangerous solution to correct the misfortune... in exchange for a favor. The steep price includes striking a bargain with an arcane, vengeful being.

Diomedes turns his back on everything he stands for, even at the cost of his closest friends and allies, to pursue a foe who knows he is coming. And the solution may not even work. How far will Diomedes go to assuage a guilty conscience?
