Description


: On the verge of manhood, Raven's rampage continues as he begins the difficult path to Acceptance by his fellow Olympians. Out to prove he's as good, if not better than, any of them he bests the Trials set before him by Hades and Poseidon. This isn't enough for him, in his quest to prove to his Father, Ares, that he is an Olympian Raven preys upon the Mortals below Olympus in a time of great weakness. Settling for nothing less than Chaos, he enlists the aid of his Uncle Apollo and pushes the Mortals to pure anarchy when a global financial crisis leaves the entire world destitute, in ruins, and at each other's throats. Ready to conquer his Trials, take his place at the Counsel Table, and bring Ares the glory Cernunnos once prophesized, only one thing stands in his way; the night his Mother fell down the stairs.

Alena, her body asleep in Ares' bed for four long years, is lost deep in the clutches of a never-ending dream induced by Morpheus. After years of living an illusion and becoming Morpheus Wife, Alena discovers his deception and struggles to escape her prison. Morpheus has no intentions of ever letting her go. He'll fight to the death to keep her.

Apollo, ever the Man Behind the Curtain, pulls Raven's strings like a true puppet master. It's far too late when Raven realizes all he's done to please his Father actually makes Ares look guilty of destroying the Mortal World. A little Chaos and a little Anarchy aren't enough for the Golden God, in his on-going quest to destroy Ares, Apollo sets a plague loose upon the Earth. A bio-chemical weapon stolen from the United States Government at Area 51, known commonly as Major Falls. By the time the Olympians discover what's going on twenty million people are dead with the number multiplying exponentially every day.

With only one option left to each of them, Raven and Alena turn to their unlikeliest of enemies-- Aphrodite and Apollo for help. One night in the bed of the Goddess of Love can be painful but one night in the bed of the Golden God can kill and destroy all that Ares and Alena have built and endured. To ensure that her beloved Husband and her Son are not put to death she may have no other choice.

Review: 

 Raven is out to prove to his father that he can be acceptd by everyone.  He passes the trials set for him but somehow thats not enough for him. he sets out and prays on the mortals below, with the help from his uncle Appollo  he creates chaos for the world below.

Alena struggling living in an  illusion trying hard to break free of the lies and deseption she has found her life to be. Married to Morpheus a ver y dangerous man who will stop at nothing to keep her where she is.

seeing  he is wrong in what he is doing Raven see that Apollo is doing nothing other then pulling his strings to make his father look bad. but Apollo isnt happy with with just making Ares look bad, he sets a plague  on the mortal world and hundreds of people are dead before the Olympians discover whats going on.

Overall view: 

This is a story what gets you gripped right from the start. At the moment with being pregnant and tiered all the time I struggle to find a book that keeps me glued and doesnt send me to sleep but im happy to say this one I managed to read all the way through. It is filled with amazing characters that you either love or hate and they help you stay with them on there  journey. I think this is a series that you really should try.
