The Lords of the Underworld were once warriors for the Greek Gods. When the warrior, Pandora was entrusted to guard the infamous box, the warriors were angry and jealous that one of them was not given the opportunity to guard it. They unleashed the demons in the box, and when the Gods finally gathered the demons together, they placed a demon in each warrior as punishment since the box disappeared.

Now the warriors are trying to find the box again, since not only a new order of Gods are looking for it, but also human hunters. If the box is found by one of the latter groups, it can kill the warriors since the demons are a part of them. With each book they keep finding pieces to the puzzle of the box, and of the relics that will supposedly help them find it.

Reyes is the keeper of Pain who has learned enough about his demon that he can inflict pain on himself to keep the demon at bay. Although with human contact, he has been known to spread the need, whereby the humans try to inflict pain on one another. He meets Danika in the first book of the series, and he has become infatuated with her. She harbors a secret ability that can help the warriors find another relic. She hates the warriors since one of them tried to kill her and her family.

Another great story that has a high degree of action and romantic tension that not only furthers the overall plot of the box and relics, but is also a great love story between the two main characters. I recommend this book and the series as a whole! Can't wait for the next book that comes out in 2009.
