    Summary

    "Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”

    “Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”

    “Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”

     

    Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

    Summary

    Thus came Andersen’s second conclusion: all gods at Chaldea were infected by humanity. They were no longer beings beyond the reach of mere mortals but soiled by the spirit of living as a ‘human’ ghost. Divinity could not be summoned in its purest form, for it was too dreadful and powerful a force even for the Throne. But if they were chained to mortal flesh--

    What a pitiable existence.

    Summary

    He reached for the knife, wrapping his fingers around the still-stained handle. He exhaled, closing his eyes as he whispered the silent prayer. The blade’s point drove through the fabric, and he felt it meet flesh…
    And he stopped. His heart was racing, his hands shaking as he held the knife to his middle. His entire body froze, rigid, unable to move.
