The gods are dying in their sleep. The killer calls it retribution.
It's three in the morning when Artemis manifests at Pymm's Pondside looking like death warmed over. With divine power flickering like a faulty light bulb and dark circles that shouldn't exist on a goddess, she's begging for help with nightmares that are literally killing her kind and Fiona Shakleton knows their hard-won week of peace is officially over.
The goddess of the hunt has never asked for anything. She demands, expects, and occasionally threatens. But asks? Never. Which means things are properly buggered.
The nightmares aren't random—they're echoes of magical vengeance from a mystery cult the Olympians destroyed centuries ago.
As the Backside of Forty digs deeper, they expose an uncomfortable truth. The mystery cult wasn't trying to destroy the gods, they were only trying to hold them accountable.
With two days until the new moon ritual that will kill every guilty deity simultaneously, the team must find a third option between revenge and impunity. Because if they fail, it won't just be gods who die—it'll be everyone caught in the crossfire when the boundary between mortal and divine realms shatters completely.
Retribution or responsibility. Murder or consequence. Sometimes the line between them is just semantics and desperation.
And the Backside of Forty is about to find out which side of that line they're really on.
Some nightmares hunt you. Others make you question whether you're the monster for trying to wake up.
