"Who's that? The kid with streaks in the corner?" The young Champion asked the Nymph serving him.
"You don't know? That's Dominic O'Neil, the Godslayer."
Dominic Morgan O'Neil is different from most Demigods. Not just because he's a son of Hades. All his life, he's done the bidding of the Olympians, earning their acceptance. Not just his father, he's taken requests from all of them, no matter how cruel, impossible, or down right nasty the job is. Still, even being accepted by them, pretty much as their private mercenary, he's found his days to be exceedingly... Empty. He feels he lacks true purpose, and faces each day with an emotionless void, as if he's not truly alive at all...
Until, that is, one particular request leads him down a road that reveals an Olympian-sized Conspiracy, a hidden Prophecy, a secret army of enemies, both man and monster alike, the love of his life, and the one thing he's wanted most: Purpose.
Shifters never mingle with humans. They reside high in the mountains venturing below only once a year for the night of the Red Moon. They invade the human villages below, take and kill who they want, but they never leave any witnesses. Not before Freya.
Season 1 of Cloud Piercer
*****
18-year-old Freya Raune will do anything to find out why the shifters took her brother. And that includes searching for the deserters, an elusive rebel group determined to end the shifters' rule.
But as the next Red Moon approaches and the mysterious yet charismatic Killian Li sweeps into her village, Freya is forced to be more careful. Those caught fraternizing with the deserters are murdered, and Killian's arrival is a reminder that nobody can be trusted--even those Freya is closest to.
