• When grief opens a door, even the gods can bleed.
After Sharon Tait's burial, Lily Walsh begins to see what no grieving friend should - shadows that remember her name, a children's book that breathes secrets when touched, and a cult that hunts through hospitals, courtrooms, and graves.
Detective Jameson Trainor wants to treat the impossible like a case. But the evidence will not stay dead. Coffins hum with unnatural residue. Doors open where walls should be. And something ancient stirs beneath his own memories, whispering of labors he may have lived before.
Hydra does not merely want Lily. It wants the breach Sharon left behind - the wound in reality opened by her final scream. From that scream came two impossible children: Sam, born of fire and grief, and Lulua, daughter of the Void, created to balance what even the gods have begun to fear.
As All Hallows' Shadowed Night approaches, Lily, Jeremy, and Jameson are drawn toward the Grove, where free will, divine law, and mortal grief collide. If Hydra seals the breach in its favor, humanity will lose more than life. It will lose the right to choose its own mind, soul, and fate.
Book Two of A Butterfly's Demise begins at a burial and descends into a night where one mortal's defiant scream shatters the silence of the gods.
This isn't just a ghost story. It's the consequence of a scream the gods could not silence.
