Resumen del Editor

Then…

Before they were gods, they were princes of Dasos.

For years, the kingdom of Dasos was ruled by the merciless King Cronus and the bewitching Queen Rhea. Under their rule, the kingdom prospered until the queen discovered she was pregnant with their third child, Zeus.

Hated from birth, Zeus must fight to earn his father’s love and his place alongside his brothers: Hades and Poseidon. If Zeus can find the legendary elixir known as Ambrosia, a substance prophesied to make gods of men, not only will he win his father’s approval, he will secure the future of Dasos.

Now…

Centuries later, Dasos is merely a dilapidated village nestled deep within a brutal forest full of roving bands of the vicious Unhallowed, soulless creatures set to destroy anything in their wake.

Lilith, a curious woman with a fiery spirit, stumbles into town with no recollection of where she came from. All Lilith knows is that she’s drawn to Dasos the same way she was drawn to Finian, the town blacksmith.

A storyteller and weapon forger, Finian is plagued with nightmares of a dark, shadowed man. After Lilith’s arrival, the nightmares intensify, and soon Finian questions what is real and what resides only in his mind.

When the town is attacked, Lilith and Finian find themselves pawns in a centuries-old war between feuding brothers. Destruction, death, and the cursed Unhallowed lurk around every corner.

Love and loyalty will be tested.

Hearts and bodies will be broken.

An unknown enemy will awaken.

Welcome to the world of Dasos, where gods and mortals collide.

New take on the history of Zeus, Posideon, & Hades

Debut Author Tati Alvarez has brought a new spin on an age-old tale of the Greek gods Hades, Posideon, and Zeus, and how they became immortal gods in the first place.

The story behind with the creation of Lillith, and then flips back and forth to the beginnings of the family of Kronos, his wife and their 3 sons was intriguing.
I thought Lilith was an interesting character, innocent in life as she may be, she's no pushover.
However, the story of Zeus as a baby until his teen years is heartbreaking & tragic, and I just wanted to hold him.
It ends on a revelation and more mystery to unravel, leaving me wanting more!
I'm looking forward to what happens in book 2!

Narration was good, but the discomfort was slower than I prefer. I turned up the speed some and I enjoyed it better.

Epic Zeus re-telling with Dystopian feels!

LOVED EVERY MINUTE!


Solid 5 star book! Great plot and a bit of spice! Two timelines, one heart wrenching tale about Zeus m, including his pre-god childhood. The second time line focusing on Lilith, a mysterious young woman with no memory of her past. She finds herself in a small village plagued by a sickness!

Loved the audio!! Nichole James is an awesome narrator!

Book 2 cannot come fast enough

What an amazing book. To be able to weave Greek mythology into the story line and maintaining accuracy. The plot is amazing and of course you left wanting more!!!! This is not even a genre I typically read but I loved this book!!

A great story with a lovely storyteller!

The story itself is such an interesting take on the big three Greek Gods.

The creation and growth of Lilith was super well written—I loved her innocence.

The narrator did a great job of telling the story and really bringing it alive. I would definitely recommend this book and this audio version to my fantasy friends who like their stories full of mythology and a hint of spice.
