"For anyone who enjoys fantasy or history this is a book for you! An outstanding book! Very well written, engaging and truly a fun and enjoyable book to read."
"It is interesting to get an inside look into the minds of the gods and realize that they may be powerful, but also more human than expected."
"This book has many human ideals like heroism, corruption, love, and vindictiveness. I recommend everyone to read this."

Back of the Book Blurb
After waking to a heinous crime he doesn't remember committing, Herc Dion is sentenced to death by live burial. At the last moment, Eury, leader of the city-state of Portaceae, offers Herc the chance to atone for his crime through a series of trials. Trials that will force him to face monstrous creatures, test his loyalty, and send him to face death itself. Filled with an unshakable sense of duty to Portaceae, Herc readily accepts the risks.

Adding to these challenges, Herc endures perpetual cruelty at the hands of Hera, the goddess who is meant to protect Portaceae. Her blinding hatred of Herc has led to the near ruin of her realm and to her ignorance of Eury's true plans that could spell the end of her existence.

With the knowledge that Hera has done everything to destroy his life, will Herc risk his own life to protect her and to save Portaceae?
