Lach has spent the last few thousand years counting only on himself. What he needed, he took. What he wanted, he won with charm. All except a god he turned his back on an age ago, when he had a different name and didn’t know what he was giving up.



Thanatos, god of merciful death, is one of the gentlest gods in the pantheon—easing the transition between life and death for billions of mortals. But he has faced eternity alone. After breaking his heart on the sharp words of a fisherman’s son, he hasn’t been able to connect with anyone.



Now, Lach is crashing back into Thanatos’s life, dragging him into an adventure that could save the world . . . or kill them both.



PATRON OF MERCY IS THE THIRD BOOK IN A SERIES, BUT CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE NOVEL.




REVIEWED BY STEPHANIE

4.5*

This series got better and better with every book and every God. 
I love the creative liberty these authors used for their characters. They really seem believable and the Gods relatable (and mostly likable *side eyes Zues*)

Now, I am not sure if it was due to the 6 planets in retrograde plus the lunar eclipse and stag full moon or if this book is in fact, sad, but I found myself in tears...A LOT.. for about the first half of this book. Thanatos is an incredible character. When you think of Death, you're not expecting him to be kind and patient. It makes sense though when you think of the Merciful God of Death. He was perfect in every way, and I absolutely fell in love with him. 

Trash Pirates. What? Sold! because that sounds awesome. Like Hebe says, Pirates are still in :p 
Lach is an immortal human. His story is pretty interesting and so is his boat. 
He spends a lot of this story trying to prove to Thanatos he's changed, but trying to do it without coming on "too strong". I think that's where a lot of the sadness comes in. He just seems so defeated most of the time. He's also another character you can't help but fall in love with.

 These ladies really did a great job, I am super impressed. I also can't wait to move on to the Sons of Olympus series. I need more Hermes <3 font="" nbsp="">




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.
