★ “What really shines here is Winters’ wise take on grief, which manages to feel authentically messy while hopeful. Brooding boys worth rooting for.“
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Eighteen-year-old August is trying to navigate life after the sudden death of his boyfriend left him devastated, aimless, and feeling guilty. Years after the tragic accident, August mistakenly stumbles into a world beyond his own—the Underworld.
Unlike his own gray existence, the underworld is a lavish extravagant place, full of mystery and a flurry of charismatic gods, all curious about August’s arrival in their world. Realizing right away the opportunity in front of him, August goes searching for his lost love, guided by Cary, the smoldering, broody ferrier of souls. But the more time August spends down below, the more his intentions begin to blur.
Is he visiting this realm to reunite with his soulmate? Or is he desperately, inexplicably, intoxicatingly drawn to Cary? With his own world in pieces and a dangerously seductive realm promising him a new existence at a heavy cost, August must choose: a life with grief or a love that might destroy him.

★ “This well-executed reimagining of the underworld offers a thoughtful reflection on life, suggesting that grief is, at its core, a reminder that you were given the chance to love.”

“Sedate prose leisurely unveils supporting characters’ intriguing backstories and adds dramatic slow-burn flair to this inventive supernatural romance.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This tale paints a vivid picture of the weight of grief…Readers will yearn for Auggie’s thorny-sweet, impossible romance with Cary to succeed and immerse themselves in the lush, evocative, seductively dangerous world of Aides.”
