The god of death is on a hit list. 

Thanatos was a plantation owner in antebellum New Orleans when the only weapon with the power to kill a god was stolen from him. One hundred and fifty years later, he’s back to find it before his sister Eris gets her hands on it to take him out. The good news: there are only so many places in that house his crazy mortal ex-wife could have hidden it, right? The bad news: he’ll have to somehow get past the house’s current owner—the crazy mortal ex-wife’s descendent and practically her twin.

A recent tragedy left Anna Ashmore just shy of destitute, but she’s determined to restore her plantation house to its former glory—on no budget and while fending off a local mob boss with a sins-of-the-father vendetta against her. When “General Contractor Zach Smith” shows up, licensed, bonded, and willing to take a job no one else wants, her prayers are answered. 

It’s supposed to be a win-win, but between clashing aesthetics and no treasure map, frustrations mount on both sides. As Eris closes in, Zach is forced to create a bond with Anna he never intended to make in order to protect them both. When this divine sibling rivalry escalates into sabotage and a devastating loss, he learns that there’s a fine line between survival and living, and the source of power he thought he needed might not be the one he most wants.
