Blurb

For more than five thousand years, Prometheus has been chained in the underworld. Every day, an eagle tears out his liver. Every night, he heals. When Hermes releases him in a gambit to save himself from his father’s wrath, Prometheus must adjust to a world that’s forgotten him. Hunted by the twins, Artemis and Apollo, he finds help in an unexpected place.



Julian Bell is a vampire lost. He left his Louisiana home in 1936 and hasn’t settled since. Ten years ago he followed his best friend to New York, but the country they came to wasn’t the America he left. After losing his friend, he found himself unmoored in a strange land. As he nears his hundredth birthday, he’s realizing how truly alone he is.




When Prometheus and Julian’s paths cross one fateful night, they find in each other a safe path through the shadows.

I enjoyed the first one, but I LOVE this one. 

I just want to thank these two authors for making me enjoy Hades and actually not fearing the underworld. Also, maki Zuess the bad guy? That's kind of funny, and seemingly accurate. He does seem like a prick. (Don't tell him I said that!) And Ceberes? Oh my gods, I want to scratch his heads!! I also like the updates done to the God's. Like Hermes and emails, etc... what impact social media has on the God's/Goddesses.

That being said, don't get your hopes up here for a big Hades entrance,  he's only in glimpses of this story, even though they're big impacts. 

They are so many Gods/Goddesses, it's hard to keep up, but I love these stories, because they aren't confusing at all and explain who each starring God/Goddess is. They also make them kind of fun, or total dicks, but still fun. 

Prometheus is the sweetest character (almost) ever. Freed by son of Zuess,   Hermes (messenger God). He's been locked away so long in Tartarus that this new world brings a new innocence and wonder about him. His need for closeness and contact is endearing. 

I also love what the authors did with vampires. You're probably like, God's and vampires? But it's all paranormal and can be stretched any which way, really. They did a great job with Artemis' role with the hunters. I also like that she cares, in her cold-hearted bitch sort of way. 

I'm really curious as to what Hermes is up to, and this Patron of Mercy? What couldn't be!?!? I'm just glad this book pulled me out of my reading funk, at least for a little while. 

It was such an adventure with some awesome characters.
5* 



About the Authors



Sam Burns wrote her first fantasy epic with her best friend when she was ten. Like almost any epic fiction written by a ten year old, it was awful. She likes to think she’s improved since then, if only because she has better handwriting now.

If she’s not writing, she’s almost certainly either reading or lost down a Wikipedia rabbit hole while pretending to research for a novel.






W.M. Fawkes is an author of LGBTQ+ urban fantasy and paranormal romance. With coauthor Sam Burns, she writes feisty Greek gods, men, and monsters in the Lords of the Underworld series. She lives with her partner in a house owned by three halloween-hued felines that dabble regularly in shadow walking.
