Aristos Petrakos is a Sparton Warrior who follows King Leonidas and 300 other warriors into battle against the Persians at Hots Gate. He then is one of a chosen few to become a God of Midnight, which includes immortality and a deal with the God of War, Ares. Over a century ago, Ari met and fell in love with Juliane Tiades, a Savannah socialite. Ari was positive Juliana was his heart and soul. Ari watched Juliana's beautiful face go from pleasure to horror at seeing who he really was, devastating him. Juliana took her own life after Ari revealed his true nature leaving him alone and heartbroken for 100 years. Now Juliana resurfaces as a spirit claiming to be Ari's lost love and trying to contact him through his friends. This makes Ari angry, filling his mind with doubts, as well as memories of love.

In Juliana Tiades time, over 100 years ago, life was simple and carefree. She was in love with a beautiful man, knowing marriage was their next step. Then the unthinkable happened when he showed a side of himself she had never known existed. Then Juliana was taken into a wild hurricane to die without letting her inform Aristos Petrakos how she really felt about him. After 100 years of wandering the streets of Savannah as a spirit, Juliana finally finds someone who can convince Ari to come back to her. Their reunion is not what Juliana expects, but when Mason Angel believes Juliana is a demon out to destroy the Gods, she becomes marked for death.

This story isn't as exciting or action-packed throughout as previous stories have been in this series, but it does have a few side stories that are worth the read. This may not be my favorite, but I absolutely love the series itself.

Book Summary

Having recently assumed the power over life and death for the immortal Spartan brotherhood. Aristos Petrakos still hasn't mastered his unpredictable abilities. Now a medium brings him a message from the other side-a romantic message Ari doesn't want to hear.

More than a century ago, the love of Ari's immortal life, Juliana Tiades, drowned in the Savannah River after she learned about Ari's shape-shifting abilities. Desperate to reveal the truth about her death, Juliana makes a bargain with a Djinn demon who offers to give her phiscal form. But as Juliana and Ari are reunited in passion, the debt must be paid-in souls and spirits.
