Addie’s deal with a dark god lets her walk away from the life she was being forced to live but every deal comes with a cost. She is doomed to be forgotten by everyone she meets and for hundreds of years, she wanders, soaking in the ever changing world and doing her best to leave whatever marks she can. Her only companion is the dark god who cursed her- Luc, she calls him- until she meets Henry who somehow remembers her and is harboring his own secrets. 

Finishing this book is the most exquisite heartbreak. The last quarter or so absolutely flies by and I found myself getting choked up waiting to see what was going to happen. I’m thrilled with the outcome despite my shattered heart. I particularly love
that Addie’s spirit is not broken even after she has successfully bargained for Henry’s deal to be broken. He immortalizes her the best way he can and she continues on with her new game of getting Luc to tire of her.
