Summary: 

The Shadowhunter Chronicles meets the Chinese underworld, for fans of Legendborn, and anime like Jujutsu Kaisen and Noragami.

 

Hell. Its mythos exists in every culture: mysterious death gods, solemn grim reapers, a damsel who falls in love with a clever devil or two, vengeful demons—and those who oppose them.

The city is an unruly splotch. Cold, ambitious, hungry. Its netherworld is ruled by the Ten Kings of Hell. Bound by the rules of life and death, each King tends to his realm like a skilled bonsai master, and it is said that all ten are needed to maintain balance. When a god of death goes missing, an ancient supernatural virus known as the Blight rears its head, mutating the souls of the dead into Revenants, dark vampiric creatures who thirst for the spirit energy of mortals.

A girl, empty, haunted by her past.

A boy, broken, looking for magic.

A reaper, alone, searching for his King.

A wish made; a promise broken.

As darkness takes over, three paths intersect in the shadows. And three lives bound by the red threads of fate must rise against destiny before the barrier between worlds crumbles and all hell breaks loose. Literally.
