Publisher's summary

The most highly-anticipated novel in the Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series since Acheron is here—the unforgettable story of Styxx, Acheron's twin brother and one of the most powerful beings on earth

Just when you thought doomsday was over . . .

Centuries ago Acheron saved the human race by imprisoning an ancient evil bent on absolute destruction. Now that evil has been unleashed and it is out for revenge.

As the twin to Acheron, Styxx hasn't always been on his brother's side. They've spent more centuries going at each other's throats than protecting their backs. Now Styxx has a chance to prove his loyalty to his brother, but only if he's willing to trade his life and future for Acheron's.

The Atlantean goddess of Wrath and Misery, Bethany was born to right wrongs. But it was never a task she relished. Until now.

She owes Acheron a debt that she vows to repay, no matter what it takes. He will join their fellow gods in hell and nothing is going to stop her. But things are never what they seem, and Acheron is no longer the last of his line. Styxx and Acheron must put aside their past and learn to trust each other or more will suffer.

Yet it's hard to risk your own life for someone who once tried to take yours, even when it's your own twin, and when loyalties are skewed and no one can be trusted, not even yourself, how do you find a way back from the darkness that wants to consume the entire world? One that wants to start by devouring your very soul?

“[A] publishing phenomenon . . . [Sherrilyn Kenyon is] the reigning queen of the wildly successful paranormal scene . . . Just one example of arguably the most in-demand and prolific authors in America these days.” —Publishers Weekly

“Kenyon's writing is brisk, ironic and relentless imaginative. These are not your mother's vampire novels.” —Boston Globe

YESSSSS

Great story long and awesome! I felt like a dick for hating Styxx in Ash's book, but really makes you think about how you treat people and judge.

Styxx Dark Hunter Book 22.

This has been a very long and vivid book having read all about the Acheron book. Now to see thing a different view of Styxx and all the events that broke the friendship of the this twins and made them bitter enemy. Sherrilyn Kenyon re-takes her crown as the ultimate mistress of the Tortured Hero. To think, I had assumed Acheron was difficult to read. This time, I held out longer before the tears began to flow, but eventually I succumbed to periodic bouts of weeping. Because of the late hour I started, I ended up pulling an all nightery and now I have a throbbing headache. But I'd do it all again. This was a hard read for various reasons. The underlying and unpalatable issues of child molestation and rape, of course, being the main ones. Kenyon somehow managed to outdo herself with the gruesome abuse. At points, I was almost ill. I don't know what it says about me as a reader, but I must have been numbed from Acheron's book because I held it together until Styxx met Bethany. It was their issues that really brought on the waterworks.
