Rafael, god of storms and sin of Pride, has lived lifetimes haunted by the weight of his past. He raised a son not of his blood, Yellow-the abandoned child of Jay, his brother, his first love, and his greatest betrayal. Every burden Jay left behind, Rafael carried. Every scar, every mess, every child unwanted-he took them under his wings, never knowing each step was haunted by Jay's shadow.
Now Yellow dreams of a destiny written long before their time: seven gods, seven deadly sins, bound to gather at one table or watch the world fall to ruin. To protect him, Rafael must lead gods he despises-fallen immortals, rivals he once killed, beings who break every moral he clings to. And all the while, his greatest secret begins to surface: he is the reason they became sins at all.
Amid battles, betrayals, and impossible choices, something unexpected stirs-love. Winter, goddess of elements and sin of Gluttony, once blinded by his blood, finds herself falling for him. Rafael feels it too, yet pride and fear keep him from surrendering. For if she leaves, the wound may be one even storms cannot heal.
enemies sit closest at his table. Lucifer, the ex-god who betrayed his brothers and became Rafael's hated son-in-law, stands for everything Rafael despises. And Natas-the god of Wrath, master of the underworld-may be the hardest to convince. He has not forgotten the species Rafael made extinct, the gods he slaughtered, or the throne Rafael once accepted from Lucifer's bloody hands.
Can a god born of storms, cursed with pride, carrying the only blood that can kill gods, truly lead the seven-or will his sins consume them all?
