Book One: Demigod's Curse

Book one in the Demigod Series

The Gods did as they pleased and were not to be questioned. They had children with mortals, witches, and Samokian demons, then tossed them to the side as if they meant nothing. Samokian demigods knew not the love of their godly parents. Instead, they were raised by their elder siblings, who were forced to care for themselves when there was no one else would. It was a common practice in Samoka; only a handful of gods cared for their offspring's well-being. They reproduced for sport. The lack of attention was like a game to them to see who spawned the cruelest and coldest demigod, not caring for the consequences because according to the gods, half-breeds would never be powerful enough to overthrow them.

Ekias was the son of the mighty General of the Samokian army and the most powerful god of war. He was also the youngest of his countless siblings. Raised by his demigod siblings, Ekias was just another son of Arkés living in the city of Avalarius. He was the youngest, meaning that by their customs, he was the representative of the entire house of war, and given his questionable background at best, the gods weren't particularly fond of him, nor was he of them. In Samoka, it's best for a demigod to just blend in, which is something Ekias struggled to do not because he didn't want to but because Samoka herself has set her eye on him for an obligation that'll make it even harder for him to keep his secret hidden from the gods.
