For the LOVE of WAR
Complete Saga
Get the complete, award-winning For the LOVE of WAR series in one epic volume.
An Epic Adult Fantasy Saga of Exiled Gods, Ruthless Power, and Love Forged in War.
This is not a softened retelling.
This is Olympus as it should be — political, sensual, merciless.
Ares, God of War, has been cast from Olympus for a crime no god dares name. On his isolated island, surrounded by mortal pleasures that no longer stir him, he waits — watching, calculating, nursing a vengeance centuries in the making.
Then a dying fey washes onto his shore.
Alena is bound by ancient magic.
Claimed by Cernuous.
Hunted by the Olympian gods.
Valuable enough that Zeus demands her brought before him in chains.
She offers Ares a bargain.
One night.
His protection.
He accepts — because power recognizes opportunity.
What begins as strategy becomes obsession.
What begins as possession becomes something far more dangerous.
Because when gods love, they do not do so gently.
They conquer.
They claim.
They wage war.
As prophecy tightens and Olympus fractures, Ares must decide what he will sacrifice to reclaim his throne — and what he will burn to keep the woman fate placed in his hands.
War is coming.
And the bargain struck in exile will reshape gods, mortals, and legacies for ages to come.
