GODS SHALL FALL. FATE WILL RULE.
In the world of Aetherion, everyone has heard whispers of the Godbutcher. To Mortals, he is a legend. To the powerful Exalteds, he is a myth. But to the immortal Celestials, he is something far worse: their finality.
His name is Mavros Ravenglass.
Hidden for years on an island ignored by the gods, Mavros has spent his life in the shadows after his mother fled there with him as a child, desperate to protect their secrets. But when a visiting dignitary is murdered inside Irton Manor, suspicion falls on Mavros and his family, forcing him to flee the only home he has ever known to protect them.
His escape sends him across the ocean and directly into enemy territory: a glittering city ruled by the Exalted, the powerful children of the gods. Disguised as a mortal, Mavros is forced into The Ascension Crucible, a brutal competition of deadly trials, political game play, and divine meddling, where only the strongest survive.
For Mavros, winning means vengeance against the Celestials who destroyed his life.
But survival becomes far more complicated when he is bound to two dangerous allies: Zyran Ouranous, his enigmatic and infuriatingly handsome Exalted sponsor, and Odith, the cursed Celestial of Death. As betrayal, forbidden magic, and ancient prophecies tighten around them, Mavros discovers that Fate may be the one enemy even the Godbutcher cannot kill.
This dark epic, Greek mythology-inspired fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, and slow-burn MM romantasy, GODBUTCHER is the first book in an action-packed fantasy romance saga filled with deadly tournaments, gods, false-heroes and monsters, political intrigue, fated mates, and morally grey heroes.
Ideal for readers of The Serpent and the Wings of Night and Blood of Hercules.
