God of Fire: A Greek Myth Retelling
About this ebook
Hephaestus is the only Olympian whose injuries never heal—and Zeus adds to his burden by sentencing him to life with Aphrodite.
Trapped in a loveless marriage to the adulterous goddess of love, Hephaestus turns to fire, creating divine wonders to soothe his pain. Of course, his fellow gods waste no time in demanding all manner of magical inventions.
But Hephaestus is nobody’s fool. His magic hides a shadow side—as gods and mortals learn to their cost when Zeus commands him to create Pandora’s jar…
Uncover the dark truth behind the gods in this immersive Greek mythology novel.

About the author
Helen Steadman mostly writes biographical historical fiction (think herbs, healing, witch trials, swords, shipwrecks and lighthouses) set in the north east of England. So far, she’s written the Newcastle Witch Trials Trilogy (Widdershins, Sunwise and Solstice), The Running Wolf (about the Shotley Bridge swordmakers) and Grace (about Grace Darling, the Northumbrian lighthouse keeper’s daughter).
And then — because why not — there’s God of Fire set on Mount Olympus, which is absolutely nowhere near the north east of England. (A sequel featuring Aphrodite is in hand.)
