When a madman seized the throne, the gods on Olympus fell silent, and the island of Helinthia withered into decay? Dargon is sure these events are no coincidence and convinces Kelric and Gadnor to join him in a rebellion against the king, hoping to incur favor with the gods and restore prosperity to their ravaged lands. Confident of their purpose, they embark on a journey to gather support for war, leaving Dargon's sister Gonivein safe behind the walls of Shallinath. But the king's spies have been watching--waiting for the right moment to strike and make them an example for their treasonous ideas. Turmoil follows their footsteps, and they're confronted with the terrifying truth that not all who dwell on Olympus want the island to recover, and some will stop at nothing to ensure Helinthia spirals deeper into chaos. Just when all hope seems lost, one emerges with a dark secret that could bring peace to the island, but at what cost?

Perfect for fans of fantasy and mythology, this story is unique and new, as the author has created her own world and characters rather than this being a retelling of an old tale.
I struggled to get into the story at first, I did have to pick it up a few times to really get going but in the end it was an interesting story and had a sense of mystery that kept me going. At the very end especially I struggled to put it down! I enjoyed that it was told from different characters viewpoints.
I really hope there will be a sequel, it seems like the author has left it open for one. In the mean time, I can't wait for publication so that I can add a physical copy to my mythology collection!
Many thanks to the author and Netgalley for the ARC.
