The Mortal King

For eternity, Zeus has ruled the heavens, commanding storms, shaping destinies, and bending the will of kings. But despite his limitless power, an unspoken longing haunts him-a secret desire to understand the fleeting lives of the mortals he so often meddles with. Against the warnings of his wife, Hera, and the doubts of his brother, Poseidon, Zeus makes an unthinkable choice: to abandon his godhood and walk among humans as one of them.

Stripped of his divinity, he is cast down into a world of hunger, pain, and mortality, where he must navigate the trials of life without the strength of Olympus behind him. But as he seeks the truth of human existence, he will also face temptation, love, and betrayal-and a fate even the gods could not foresee.

As Zeus lives and struggles as a man, Hera watches from above, torn between fury and fear, knowing all too well that her husband will not return unchanged. But when the gods begin to suspect that Zeus's journey may unravel the very balance of their existence, they must decide: will they let him fall, or will they bring him back-before it is too late?

A story of power, passion, and the price of understanding, The Mortal King reimagines the gods of Olympus as they've never been seen before-vulnerable, yearning, and dangerously close to the one thing they have always feared: mortality.
