Shards in the Void (Fate of the Dehmi #2)

Valorie Vargas is dead.
But her end is just the beginning.
Valorie was planning on becoming an immortal, not a corpse. But, even the best laid plans go awry, and waking up in a world reserved for the dead certainly falls under “awry”. Now, she’s being told her only hope of returning lies in a secret city hidden within the depths of this world.
Alongside a draconic shifter and an enigmatic Avallean spirit, Valorie must claw her way through the wonders and secrets of the Underworld, all while her strand in Fate’s weave stretches closer and closer to its breaking point.

The other half of Conall’s heart is lying on the cold stone altar where they were to be wed. In his eyes, they’ve all failed Valorie. Yet the Paragons of Death have come bearing a thread of Fight your way through the trials of Death’s domain, and be reunited with the one you’ve lost.
As he steps through a portal into the treacherous belly of the Underworld beside his siblings, Conall’s rage and grief threaten to consume him—and he’s tempted to open the floodgates and scorch the entire realm if it brings Valorie home.
