About This Book
A mysterious woman awakens in the heart of a dormant volcano and comes forth into a brutal ancient world transformed by genocidal pestilence, fierce beauty, and cultural devastation. She has no memory of herself, and she could be anyone mortal woman, demoness lover, last living heir to a long-gone race, or a goddess of destruction.
