The Darkness We Hold
Corinth's greatest king will not bow-not to gods, not to kings, and certainly not to death itself.
Sisyphus has always yearned for more. More power. More control. More life. A master of manipulation and cunning, he rules Corinth with brilliance, weaving schemes that leave both mortals and gods in awe-and fear. But his greatest ambition is yet to come: to unravel the chains of mortality itself.
In a world where death is inevitable and the gods reign supreme, Sisyphus dares to challenge the unchallengeable. Defying fate, mocking prophecy, and daring to steal the secrets of eternity, he risks everything to outwit the very forces that govern life and death.
How far can ambition take a man when the gods are watching-and what darkness will he uncover in his quest to overcome his own end?

Soon after, the Demon Lord is betrayed, his empire crumbling. The goddess is on the brink of death, the last princess of her people enslaved and abused and with no way to help her.
