For years, Pandora has sought her revenge. And now that her box has been opened, she has what she needs to succeed. Under the guise of a goddess sent to help, she arrives in Elysium to work with the other deities to stop the box's dark magic from spreading. But it's all a ruse... In truth, she is planting seeds of destruction that will bring Elysium to its knees. Her ultimate goal is to take down Apollo, the one who cursed her and doomed her to a life of misery. Nothing will stop her—not even his handsome apprentice, Sol. But when Pandora must work alongside Sol to keep up appearances, she finds the sun god as infuriating as he is seductive, and she falls victim to his charms. As her plan unfolds, she begins to doubt what she truly wants. Bringing down Elysium would mean the end of all gods—even Sol. Can she fulfill the task she has spent her entire existence planning? Or will her loyalties shift in favor of the gods she is meant to despise? Oak & Ember is Book 3 of the Ivy & Bone series, a Hades and Persephone retelling with a twist, full of steamy romance, dark paranormal themes, and allusions to Greek mythology. Perfect for fans of Kingdom of the Wicked and A Touch of Darkness.
