The First Love of War

The First Love of War

The god of war never feared losing battles... until he had something to lose.

Seventy years after Persa, the girl known as The Last Light of the Underworld, gave her life to save humanity, the world has been reborn.

The dead are gone.
Cities of steel and glass have been replaced by stone kingdoms, towering temples, healing academies, and civilizations built from sacrifice, blood, and second chances.

In schools, children are taught her name.
In temples, people kneel and pray to the girl who saved mankind.
Some call her a goddess.
Some call her a myth.

But one god knows the truth.

Ares.
The god of war.
Immortal. Feared. Untouched by time, loss... or love.

For centuries, he has watched humanity rebuild from the ashes, expecting greed, violence, and history to repeat itself.

Instead... he finds her.

A 24-year-old medical student who still believes every life matters. A woman who runs toward danger when everyone else runs away. Soft-hearted. Reckless. Far too human... and far too good for a god built for war.

She heals.

He destroys.

She believes everything happens for a reason.

He's spent his entire existence believing love makes people weak.

But for the first time in his immortal life...

War is falling first.

And when darkness rises from the shadows of humanity's new world, Ares will have to decide:

Will he protect the world...

or burn it for the first woman he's ever loved?
