In the Shadow of Olympus is where empires fall, gods bleed, and prophecies don't ask politely.
A thief raised on the streets of Rome.
A Spartan warrior with a legacy not his own.
A Roman prince marked for death before he ever drew a sword.
And a sorcerer weaving their fates from the shadows.
Niko never asked to be chosen. He only wanted to survive long enough to feed his dog, dodge guards, and maybe get through a day without being stabbed. But when a mysterious box drops into his life, so does destiny-loud, violent, and filled with gods who don't like being forgotten.
Adonis was raised to be a Spartan, forged in the fires of discipline, blood, and glory. But even he wasn't ready for what lurks beyond the training grounds-something ancient, something watching.
Cassius was born a prince of Rome, but prophecy doesn't care about titles. Hunted by assassins and haunted by secrets his own father kept buried, he's learning fast that leadership isn't about birthright-it's about blood.
And Lokvar? Lokvar just wants to burn the world down and rebuild it in his image-assuming the gods don't beat him to it.
Spanning the myth-drenched streets of ancient Rome to the ember-lit skies of hidden realms, In the Shadow of Olympus is a dark, immersive fantasy packed with brutal combat, ancient magic, found family, and gods who'd rather kill you than guide you.
Fans of John Gwynne, James Islington, and S.A. Chakraborty-welcome home.
