Zeus, the newest and most unstable member of a group of mercenaries known as Mama’s Brood, is given the order to protect Sabrina Samora. Sabrina knows beyond a doubt, the only person she can truly trust is herself; letting anyone else in will inevitably lead to disaster. Problem? Zeus has no respect for her boundaries. Habitually indifferent to the desires and motivations of others, Zeus wants Sabrina. She has the power to muzzle his worst impulses and unbalance his world, and he means to have her. Will Zeus be able to protect Sabrina from the sociopathic killer obsessed with making her his own, will he lose her to her own impulse to run, or will they both discover that the world is a better place when you don’t have to exist in it alone?

When a man is named after a god, it only stands to reason that he shows deference to nothing but the Blade Spirits he’s bound to, and no one, but the woman who’s bound him in her love. When that same man assumes the responsibility of a child whose survival requires that he adapt, he must move towards a level of existence he’s never aspired to. So he learns things, like considering other people’s feelings; smiling... trying to mean it; corralling his darker urges so that his new family can know a happiness he was never allowed. But a life of domestication doesn’t ensure the safety of his expanding family. Not when soulless men want to take what he’s fought for, shed blood for, and is willing to die for again and again. In this latest edition of Mama’s Brood, Zeus and Sabrina return to Zeus’s beginnings, facing old demons and new enemies while fighting to hold on to a love they never believed existed for people like them. Will they finally get their happy-ever-after? Or will they discover that their moments of happiness are not meant to last a lifetime?
