  Esher
  Prince of the Underworld and Lord of Water, Esher was banished from his home by his father, Hades,
  two centuries ago and given a new duty and purpose—to keep our world and his from colliding in a
  calamity foreseen by the Moirai.
  Together with his six brothers, he fights to defend the gates to the Underworld from daemons bent
  on breaching them and gaining entrance to that forbidden land, striving to protect his home from their
  dark influence. Tormented by his past, Esher burns with hatred towards mortals and bears a grudge
  against Hades for forcing him into their world, condemning him to a life of battling to keep a fragile
  hold on his darker side—a side that wants to kill every human in the name of revenge.
  Until he finds himself stepping in to save a female—a beautiful mortal filled with light and laughter
  who draws him to her as fiercely as the pull of the moon, stirring conflict in his heart and rousing
  dangerous needs long forgotten.
