The young girl from Santo Domingo de la Calzada in 1532 makes a terrible choice to escape the fate of a woman. In London in 1827, privileged women were kicked out after engaging in forbidden love. And in Boston in 2019, one night stand sets girls on a hunt for revenge. Schwab bent genres to tell the story of immortality and hunger.

He then learns that his father’s accident is not really a coincidence, but a result of Dante’s stupidity. The real gang is out and Roman has to use his talent to use numbers to pull his family out of the hole. Meanwhile, his sister is about to find out what happened to her mother, who disappeared years ago.
