It was far easier to turn my back on Olympus and let it burn.

When’s Callie’s sister vanishes without a trace, she turns to an ancient Fury for answers. Reluctant to get involved, the Fury makes her a deal; if Callie trains with Ares, the disgraced God of War, she’ll help.

Once a feared warrior, Ares has long since traded battlefields for the bottom of a bottle, drowning the past in liquor and solitude. The last thing he wants is to play mentor to a stubborn muse with a death wish.

But as Callie becomes tangled in the shadows of London’s undercity, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous web of gods, monsters, and ancient grudges alongside her. And as the darkness closes in all around them, he comes to realise he has far more to lose than he ever believed.

A stand-alone modern Greek mythology retelling of Ares and Calliope.
