The Heart of War

Exiled from Olympus for a crime no god dares name, Ares — God of War — rules his isolated island kingdom far from the reach of Zeus and the politics of the gods.

Then the sea delivers him a dying woman.

Alena is Fey-born, hunted across realms, and bound by ancient magic powerful enough to threaten Olympus itself. Zeus demands she be brought before him in chains.

Instead, she strikes a bargain with the God of War.

One night.

His protection.

What begins as strategy becomes obsession as ancient prophecies awaken, old alliances fracture, and the gods descend toward war.

As passion and power collide, Ares and Alena find themselves at the center of a conflict capable of destroying kingdoms, reshaping Olympus, and changing the fate of both gods and mortals forever.
