Lore meets Children of Blood and Bone in this decadent enemies-to-lovers romance blending epic Greek and Nigerian mythology.

This SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION is available while supplies last—featuring gorgeous gilded edges.

For five millennia, a vicious war has raged between the Òrì?à and Olympians. When devastation cosmically threatens their futures, the Divine Council decrees a union to force peace between the pantheons.
 
Merciless and broken, Ares, the god of war, has no time for romance. As Zeus’s heir, the fate of Olympus rests upon his shoulders—a responsibility his family won’t let him forget. Fierce and loyal, ??un, the Òrì?à of rivers, detests the Olympians. Reeling from the murder of her dearest friend at their hands, ??un must shield her heart from the enemy, no matter the cost. 

But when ??un and Ares are bound together in a farce of love to keep their warring factions at bay, they are soon caught in a battle of their own, struggling to resist a feverish connection. Immortal enemies become passionately entangled in this page-turning debut filled with mythic lore, politics, romance, and betrayal.

Tropes:
- True enemies to lovers
- Angsty slow burn
- Arranged marriage but also forbidden love!?
- He falls first
- Mythological setting and creatures
- "Who did this to you?" vibes
