Gods aren’t born, they’re made. I should have died the same night that a monster murdered my grandmother, but I was saved, stolen from my world, and thrown into a realm ravaged by an endless war between ancient gods called Asura. I’m told that I’m a demigod, that there are others like me, brought to this world to replenish their dwindling numbers. They want us to prove we’re worthy of ascension and fight alongside them. I don’t give a damn about their war. All I want is vengeance on the monster that killed my only family. A monster from their world. And if the only way to kill it is to become a god, then I’m all in. But the path of ascension is paved with dangerous tests, culminating in a lethal trial called the labyrinth of gods. Only an ancient fire elemental has the power to help me survive it. His wicked mouth sets my pulse racing, and his dark threats turn my blood to ice. Charismatic and terrifying, he attracts and repels me in equal measure, and I have no doubt he’d snap my neck in a heartbeat if freed from the magical bonds that compel him to aid me. He hopes to be my undoing, and if I’m not careful I may not make it to the labyrinth alive. To claim the vengeance that I desire, I’ll need to protect my body and shield my mind, but most of all, I’ll need to guard my heart. Enter an Otherworldly realm filled with gods, monsters, and mystical beings. Opposites attract and love and conflict collide, in this forced proximity romance.

The path to glory is veiled in deception. With the primordial evil free from its prison, my ascension is vital. The throne holds the power to help us lock away the evil for good. But there are forces at work that would rather not have me on the board, and the Authority will play every card in their hand to make sure I don’t claim my birth right. But I made a vow, to the man I love, and to myself, to free the people of this world from the cages that the asura have placed them in. I will not fail. Half-truths and lies pave the way to the throne. Discernment is all I have, and one wrong decision could cause everything to crumble. With my demigod friends at my back, and Blue and Chandra by my side, victory feels possible. But the primordial evil made me a promise in the labyrinth, and he’s coming to collect.
