Overview

In the sultry shadows of the human world, Charon finds a normal fulfilling life. But in the dark hours of the night when the world is asleep, he dons the cloak of the ferryman, guiding souls to the world below. Bound by his duty to the underworld and his love for the simple human life he's living on earth, he struggles to balance the two worlds, his existence, a delicate dance between the living and the dead. His world comes crashing when his heart becomes entangled and he unknowingly falls in love with a goddess. Circe is a powerful sorceress under the disguise of an average, typical girl living a simple, satisfying life. Haunted by her mother's ghostly echoes, she sets out on a mission impossible, to cross her back to the afterlife. An action that defies the laws of life and death. And this can only be done by one person, the ferryman. She finds out the ferryman has been right under her nose the whole time and sets out to free herself from her mum's hold. In a bid to protect herself from her past, Circe dances around the truth and soon, the line between love and deception blurs. Charon defies the laws of death, a daring act of love to help Circe, untangling a series of unfortunate events. Their fate is tested when the veil lifts and Circe's divine nature is revealed. Torn by forbidden love and divine duty, they make drastic decisions. Was their connection ever real or just a form of manipulation to achieve her ends? Or will their love at the end stand the chaos that threatens to tear them apart?
