Irina’s beloved sister’s soul is trapped in the land of the dead. If Irina can retrieve it, she could bring her back – but Irina would need a guide, one who can walk between the living and the dead. She strikes up a deal with a vampire – Irina marries him and if he agrees to get her safely to the underworld and back, then he can drink her blood as much as he wants. They begin a perilous journey through the afterlife together, in which Irina realises her husband isn’t the cruel and terrifying monster that she thought. In a land of three-headed beasts, winged creatures and walking corpses, the last thing Irina would have expected was to fall in love.
