Child of War-Rising Son

At the end of A God Is Born, Raven’s fury left his mother broken at the foot of a marble staircase.
Olympus has not forgotten.
Neither has he.

Years later, Alena lies unmoving, suspended between life and death. While the gods whisper and watch, Raven prepares for his Trials — the brutal rites that will determine whether he will be accepted among the Olympians as one of their own.

He does not fail.

Young. Powerful. Furious at the limits placed upon him, Raven sets out to bring glory to his father the only way he knows how — by changing the world.

Apollo stands at his side.
Mentor. Confidant. Guide.

While Olympus turns inward and the gods posture and scheme, Raven faces his most grueling Trial — determined to prove he is worthy of his place among them.

He will not be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Alena walks the Dream World — held there by Morpheus, who pulled her from the brink of death and kept her for his own. In the shadows of sleep, truths stir. Rose listens. Rose speaks. And what Alena sees in dreams is not illusion.

Because while the gods argue, the mortal world begins to collapse.
Cities burn.
Swiftly, the dead outnumber the living.
A plague called Major Falls spreads like judgment.

When the information surfaces, Olympus does what it does best.

It turns on its own.

Father and son are imprisoned.
Accused.
Condemned.

And for the first time, Raven begins to understand that glory and loyalty are not the same thing — and that even those closest to him may have had other plans.

Because power has consequences.
And the gods are no longer the only ones who will suffer them.

The third installment in the For the LOVE of WAR saga — where trials are conquered, dreams become battlegrounds, and a rising son begins to question the hands that shaped him.
Epic. Dark. Unapologetically Adult.
