Wat als onsterfelijkheid niet voor eeuwig is? Kate heeft als enig meisje de Godinnentest doorstaan, waarna ze door de goden onsterfelijk is gemaakt. Nu is ze er helemaal klaar voor om zich bij Henry, de machtige koning van de onderwereld te voegen. Helaas is het leven samen met Henry in zijn paleis niet helemaal wat ze ze ervan had verwacht. Hij heeft haar zelfs nog niet ייn keer gekust sinds ze terug is uit de bovenwereld! Houdt hij eigenlijk wel van haar? Dan wordt Henry het slachtoffer van Calliopes wraakzucht en wordt hij door haar toedoen ontvoerd door het enige wezen dat machtig genoeg is om hem te doden: Kronos, de koning van de Titanen. Terwijl de andere goden zich opmaken voor een strijd die het einde van alles kan betekenen, gaat Kate op zoek naar de Tartarus om Henry te redden. Al snel beseft ze dat ze het niet in haar eentje kan en dat ze hulp nodig heeft. Hulp van van de enige vrouw die ze nooit had willen ontmoeten: Persephone, Henry's grote liefde...

Het is een test die nog geen enkel meisje overleefd heeft... en nu is het de beurt aan Kate! Haar ernstig zieke moeder wil terug naar haar geboorteplaats, dus verhuizen ze van New York naar het kleine Eden. Hier begint Kate op een nieuwe school, zonder vrienden en met de angst dat haar moeder de herfst niet zal overleven. Tot haar verbazing toont de plaatselijke hunk belangstelling voor haar, wat de woede van zijn vriendin Ava oproept. Kate had kunnen vermoeden dat het feestje in het bos een valstrik was, maar ze kon niet voorzien dat Ava zou uitglijden en dood zou gaan. Plots verschijnt er een mysterieuze jongen, donker en knap, die Ava weer tot leven wekt en Kate een voorstel doet: als zij naar zijn landgoed Eden komt en zeven testen aflegt, kan ze onsterfelijk worden, een godin en zijn bruid. Hij is Henry, de god van de onderwereld, ook wel Hades genoemd. Hoewel Kate twijfelt aan zijn verstand, heeft ze met eigen ogen gezien wat hij met Ava deed. Zou hij ook haar moeder kunnen redden? Als dat zo is, is ze bereid om elke test te doorstaan, maar wat als ze faalt?
