Following the action of The Scarlet Thread, Kai has managed to escape from the home of the gods lead by Hades – it would seem that their reasons for helping her might not always be pure, and they’ve neglected to tell her that her friends at the old institute, who are like sisters, are now targets. So she and Puriel, one of the fallen angels, are off to save them.
On their own now, they’re trying to figure out what the Fates might have had in mind by giving Kai the ability to see the threads of life. They manage to make their way to Europe, and end up on a Greek Island. There’s a Temple to the Fates there, and it would appear that Kai will be able to get inside.
This definitely seems like a middle story – there’s movement, and the introduction of a few new characters (Zeus and Athena in the flesh), but this definitely feels like a way station to a greater action – good thing I got a cheap trial of Kindle Unlimited, and the next book is included…
