A single mistake can change a life forever.
Lero once had everything a man could want. The son of Poseidon, he was a gift from the gods to the queen of Corinth. But in one moment of foolish pride he lost everything—his family, his home, and the city he'd grown up expecting to rule.
Banished, Lero flees to Ethra, his betrothed, but the plans they'd made for a life together lay in ruins. With the coffers of Corinth no longer at his disposal, Lero now needs enough wealth to provide a home—and to hire warriors to defend it. His only option is to use his skills in the bloody art of war, selling his sword for the hope of a future.
King Proteus of Tiryns offers Lero that chance, but it doesn't come free. Proteus maintains power with fear, and the intrigue in his court soon has Lero firmly in his grasp. Lero spends his days killing men he doesn't hate for a king he can't respect. And if he doesn't find a way to escape soon, it's likely the next life Proteus claims will be Lero's own.
But trying to fight his way free may cost Lero everything he's been fighting for…
