Olympus reigns supreme over the cosmos, but its throne is built on a foundation of paranoia. When Zeus senses an ominous threat hurtling towards Gaia, he doesn't just prepare for war-he ignites a blood feud with an immortal from another world. But this visitor is not alone. Pursued by former lovers and allies turned hunters, he is a man marked for death. When the Acolytes of Dawn finally corner their old companion, they don't find the comrade they once knew.

As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.
