    Summary

    Hermes decides you need “character development” and, naturally, his idea of that is sending you to Ithaca on a glorified raft with a box of divine junk and zero instructions. You’ve never met anyone besides him, and now you’re supposed to help a mortal prince rebuild his kingdom.

    Telemachus is everything a prince should be: kind, careful, annoyingly good. You weren’t planning on caring about him—but the way he looks at you, like you’re a person and not a myth, makes it impossible not to.

    Then there’s Antinous: smile too sharp to be human, lethal, and somehow always one step ahead. He mocks you, tempts you, and laughs when you hate him for it. He’s poison—and you, child of Hermes, never run from a challenge. Plus, his ass is very kickable.

    Divine meddling, royal drama, two men on opposite sides of everything… and suddenly, you’re in the middle of a story that’s not even yours. One wants to save you. The other wants to ruin you. The choice should be easy. It’s not. Because of course, Hermes never said what kind of character you’re supposed to become.

    Summary

    The Corinthian has escaped justice one too many times—and this time, he’s left something behind.

    You were never supposed to be part of this. A chance encounter, a moment of bad luck, and now his essence festers inside you, twisting you into something neither human nor nightmare. Your dreams bleed into reality. Your shadow has teeth. And the more you fear what you’re becoming, the more the world around you unravels.

    Dream arrives too late to stop the corruption—only to find you, a terrified, volatile accident he can’t afford to destroy. Because the Corinthian’s final cruelty was a curse in two parts: you are now a living wound in the Dreaming, and if you die, the realm dies with you.

    Now, trapped between Dream’s cold fury and the Corinthian’s lingering influence, you must learn to control what you’ve become—before your nightmares consume both worlds.

    Summary

    The longer you are a demon the easier it is to only feel negative emotions or, worse, no emotions at all.

    But there’s a legend, a whispered story of hope amongst demons, about finding a soulmate. They’re not once in a lifetime, as in if you miss them they never come back. No, many souls are old. They’ve seen multiple lifetimes. The older the soul, the more powerful they are up until a point- there comes a time when a soul reaches its epitome and moves on after their death, their final experience.

    You find a soul like that, who’s also your soulmate, they say it can bring back your soul, your emotions.

    Your desire to live.

    But can it truly heal the curse of being controlled by Gwi-ma?
