A goddess trades places with her sister to wed Death and reclaim her mother's relic.
Hestia enters the Underworld wearing her vicious sister's face, contracted to Hades as a substitute bride to recover her mother's stolen relic. Years of devotion to Ares, the God of War, brought only accumulating wounds and betrayal. When remorse finally drives the War God to seek her out, he finds the gates already closed; she has severed their bond and tends a steady hearth beside her new husband, no longer waiting for a love that only ever hurt her.
