Part of Dark Olympus, book 8
First published 2025
Poseidon grips his prisoner's arm as explosions shake the walls of Olympus. Icarus was supposed to be a bargaining chip, nothing more. The sea god has orders to keep this enemy safe while war rages outside. But Icarus proves more complicated than expected. He's bratty and defiant, yet something vulnerable flickers beneath his attitude. Poseidon finds himself drawn to that hidden warmth despite every reason to stay distant. As Circe and the Aeaeans press their attack and Olympus teeters on collapse, the boundaries between captor and captive blur. Poseidon must choose between his sworn duties and the man who has awakened feelings he thought buried forever. The decision will determine not just their fates, but whether his heart can survive what comes next.
