About this book

The world remembers him as death incarnate. A god of rot and ruin. The Plague King.

But once, he was a guardian—a gentle deity who healed the sick and soothed the dying. Until humanity betrayed him, poisoned his temples, and made a mockery of his grace. Now, he walks the land cloaked in silence, and everywhere he goes, the plague follows.

Every year, one city remains untouched. Every year, they hold a grand festival in his name—lavish, reverent, and public. But behind the veil of celebration, their true offering is blood.

Ten girls, hand-picked and secretly trained as assassins. Their task: seduce the god, kill him, and free the world.

Heidi is one of them. A healer turned weapon. She expects a monster. Instead, she finds a man who speaks softly and moves like sorrow.

He chooses her.

And in the quiet decay of his ruined palace, she begins to see the truth buried beneath centuries of rot:

He is not what they told her.

She is not what she thought.

And love may be the most dangerous plague of all.

Myranda Rae knocked it out of the park again! He says nothing, but the silence isn’t empty. It never is. There is a language in the way he tilts his head, in his posture, and in the way his eyes follow me. He sees me. He notices. The Plague King’s Wife had me from page 1 all the way through! There was never a moment I wasn’t completely entranced by this story. The story of Heidi and Death is so sweet in this Hades and Persephone retelling. I loved the world building in this book. The...
