Now eighteen, he is close to completing his training. Soon, he will leave Katari monastery and find his family.
One day after a duel, and a revelation, a voice whispers to him, the celestial goddess Usoara. She has chosen him for "maintenance work" of the Four World Swords, regulators of all natural phenomena.
"You are the only one who has the means to reach the four World Swords and rebalance the universe!" She said.
"Is this why my father sent me to Katari monastery?" Calum asked.
"I do recall him wanting you to find out what you really are, but you can do that as you save the world!" Usoara replied.
Shortly after the journey begins, they are attacked by the disciple Calum duelled, complicating matters.
Now, with his original plans in tatters and traveling great distances with a golden bird-man for Universe Maintenance Work, Calum hopes to find answers to what his father claims of their blood, what he really is.
And maybe, just maybe, be reunited with his family.

With the help of Hades, they venture into the famed realm of Mythos, where the Moirai are said to reside; hidden within a pocket realm rumoured to move from place to place. Finding them could mean the difference between salvation and damnation, for without their help, Gwen may never be freed from her fate as a seal of Nowhere. A fate that could mean her death should her seal ever be restored, as well as the destruction of the Spectrum itself. With Set's forces laying siege across the globe, Iris and Reeves continuously plotting their next step to world conquest, and Lucas dogging Gwen every step of the way, freeing those trapped within the Spectrum's borders will prove to be an insurmountable task. And as if things weren't bad enough, the Moirai's help comes at a price: Gwen must undergo a series of trials, facing horror upon horror until the Fates are satisfied-and at the end of it all, she must engage Lucas in single combat. Only then will the Moirai give Gwen and her companions the answers they seek. But with time being of the essence, will they be able to save both Earth and the Spectrum in time? Or will everything they've fought so hard to protect come crumbling down around them?Complete

Honeyed Storm: The Epic of (Name)"
In the age of heroes, gods, and war, the world forgot her name. Born under a bleeding moon, (Name) was the divine child of Nyx, goddess of night, and Aether, god of upper air and light-an impossible union never meant to happen. To hide the shame of their union, the gods misplaced her thread in the Loom of Fate. She was cast down to the mortal world, raised in the shadows as a girl with eyes like galaxies and power she never asked for. But fate doesn't forget. It waits. It obsesses. As a young woman, she marries Odysseus and Penelope in secret-three hearts bound in a rare and sacred union. When war calls Odysseus to Troy, (Name) defies every expectation and joins him, setting sail as his equal, his protector, and unknowingly, the object of everyone's unraveling. On this journey, (Name) becomes the eye of a storm she never meant to summon: • Gods fall in love with her. And not gently. • Demigods chase her like moths to divine flame. • Monsters let her live when they should have killed. • Penelope, back in Ithaca, becomes possessive and wrathful in her longing. • Odysseus loses battles from jealousy alone, afraid someone will touch what's his. Even the world itself seems to shift toward her: Islands tilt. Winds wail. The stars blink in rhythm with her breath. As the crew dwindles-not from war, but from obsession-fueled madness-(Name) begins to uncover the truth: The gods are not simply in love. They are desperate. The Loom of Fate has started unraveling because her misplaced thread has warped destiny itself. If she doesn't confront her origins... If she doesn't choose what she wants... The world may rip itself apart trying to possess her.Complete
