King of Asphodels

After Arikles, immortal Lord of the Dead, is locked into a bloody contract with Nyx, the Goddess of Night, he resigns himself to the fact that he's more of a prisoner than a ruler. But when his sister pleads for him to take action, he's forced to choose between his love for her and his duty to protect the people of Earth. While searching for answers in a sleepy New York town, Arik accidentally reveals his true identity, and is left with no choice but to ask the young woman for help. Their growing friendship ignites an interdimensional feud that drives a wedge between himself, his best friend, and his family, and threatens to expose a dark past he'd rather leave buried beneath the rolling, windswept Fields of Elysium.
