Synopsis

HERCULES IS BACK. AND YOU'RE BOUND TO LOVE HER. In this follow-up to Jasmine Mas’s BLOOD OF HERCULES, the stakes are higher and the villains darker than ever… Every hero has their monsters. And Alexis is bound to hers: tied eternally, irrevocably to the Underworld’s dark heirs in a marriage that has shaken the foundations of Olympus – and everything Alexis once believed. Reeling, she enlists in the Assembly of Death with her mentors, set on wrecking vengeance on her husbands and uncovering the truth behind her deadly powers. She will soon teach them all that a god can’t be manacled. And a monster can’t be caged…
