For a hundred years, Constantine, the demigod of dreams and nightmares, has been trapped in a prison dimension of cold, lonely darkness, betrayed by a once-beloved friend during the divine war. In this void, solace comes only from the flickering mortal dreams that drift through his head in broken pieces and the whispers of his raven spies. Yet, one radiant light cuts through his darkness: Kasta.

For months, he has been entranced by her music, enchanted by the haunting melodies that flow from her violin. She's the only spark in his endless night, igniting a fierce longing for freedom that he thought was long frozen over.

Then, on a moonless, storm-filled night, chaos erupts as portals tear open across the globe, calling forth demigods and titans to compete in the brutal Corinthian—a savage contest devised by the gods of Evernight. With a pantheon weary of their reign, the stakes have never been higher: the victor will ascend to godhood, taking the place of a tired deity ready for their ascension, while all others will fall.

Kasta is thrust into this competition, bewildered by her summons—after all, she's no demigod. Ten years ago, she awoke on the banks of a raging river, clutching her violin, saved by the Madame who raised her within the sultry walls of a high-class brothel. The haunting gaps in her memory torment her, but her music has always served as a shield against the desires of her patrons.

Among the divine contenders, Constantine watches her. He's always close, his golden eyes seeing too much. They say he's the son of Chaos himself. He has a proposition for Kasta—one she's reluctant to take. But the chances of winning the Corinthian against demigods and titans are slim, and Constantine might be her only guarantee of survival. Not even a victory. Just survival.

In the realm of Evernight, the Corinthian may very well claim them all.
