BLURB:
Rowan is a bully. Always has been, always will be. After all, what better way to prevent people from hurting you, than hurting them first? But this time, he’s gone too far. The God of Justice has heard about his crimes, and now he must suffer the consequences…
Aldred, God of Justice and Retribution, is all too willing to take Rowan into his dungeon to deliver the sentence he rightly deserves. After all, punishing humans is his favorite pastime—he’ll take great pleasure in the careless, sadistic fun that Rowan’s incarceration offers him.
What he doesn’t expect is finding more. Because there’s something underneath Rowan’s spitefulness. Something he wants to find, care for and protect. However, if he acts on his urges, his ward will become permanently addicted to the ambrosia his body produces, altering Rowan’s life forever.
Set in a medieval fantasy world full of magic, conniving divinities and a newborn god gone rogue, follow the redemption story of one broken boy who gets his second chance at life, and a god who discovers his softer side.
Can be read as a standalone.
Content warning: explicit sex scenes, torture (flogging, drowning, humiliation), mention of past-abuse, sexual assault.
REVIEW:
This was a fabulous story! Utterly fabulous! This is how you write fantasy novels! All the stars and more!!
In a world with Gods and Goddesses, Rowan is captured because of his sins, he will be punished for them by Aldred, God of Justice and Retribution.
Aldred can’t wait to start with this little human, he loves to punish humans.
Rowan got his punishment, not quite how you expect it, but oh did it hurt, it hurt, so deeply.
Groveling in the dust and facing his life, dang! He did so wrong in life, horrible things.
And here he is, at the mercy of the God of Justice and Retribution, imagine!!
Rowan suffered, tortured, he wanted to fade, all alone, peeled off from all his ego there’s nothing left.
Rowan had a lot to learn, better to say, to unlearn! The retribution was explicitly written, I’m out of words to describe what happened to Rowan and what became of Rowan. Absolutely fabulous!
Between the many insightful learning moments, there is snarky banter to enjoy that made me snort so hard, there are also delicious sexual encounters that are really hot.
But that is not everything, there’s a threat, about an unknown god among humans offering ambrosia for revenge, and all the Gods are on alert. Rowan has a massive role here!
The author did such a great job! The world crafted was absolutely amazing! We can behold an amazing fantasy world with diverse mythical creatures and magic! Stunningly, breathtakingly done!
After using all these hyperboles you understand I was floored by this story!!
