Description
From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds. Because when Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly.
'A LUSCIOUS RETELLING THAT HELD ME TIGHT BY THE HEARTSTRINGS' SAARA EL-ARIFI, bestselling author of Cursebound
'A TIMELESS LOVE STORY' EMILIA HART, bestselling author of Sirens
'TRULY GORGENOUS, WONDERFULLY FRESH ROMANTIC FANTASY' ELODIE HARPER, bestselling author of Boudicca's Daughter
This is the oldest love story of all time . . .
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.
Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.
And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .
