About this item
Co-author of the New York Times bestselling House of Night series returns with the mesmerizing second book in The Escaped series. In Amber Smoke, Kristin Cast introduced readers to Alek & Eva. Alek, son of the Furies, has been charged to recapture the souls of who escaped Tartarus into the mortal realm in order to save not only his home from assured destruction, but also the mortal realm. But he can't do it alone... Eva has discovered that she has powers beyond her comprehension, a destiny to fulfill, and that there are people who will stop at nothing to destroy her. Now, in Scarlet Rain, the Nosoi -- the spirits of illness -- have been unleashed on the mortal realm, releasing a plague as clever and adaptable as it is insidious. Alek and Eva must capture and banish the Nosoi back to their underworld prison -- but Eva has yet to harness the powers to defeat such a powerful enemy, and Alek sustains catastrophic wounds in the attempt.
