THE ODYSSEY SERIES — BOOK ONE

THE FALL OF HADES

A Dark Mythological Fantasy of Ancient Gods, the Underworld, Forbidden Magic, Undead Armies, and a Hero's Battle Beyond Death

HE FOUGHT HIS WAY HOME FROM WAR.

NOW HE MUST FIGHT HIS WAY BACK FROM DEATH.

Odysseus has survived everything the ancient world could throw at him.

Wars.

Monsters.

Storms.

The wrath of gods.

After years of bloodshed and a legendary journey across the seas, the great warrior finally returns to Ithaca—the kingdom he once feared he would never see again.

For the first time in years, Odysseus has everything he fought for.

His wife.

His son, Telemachus.

His kingdom.

And a future worth protecting.

But far beneath the world of the living, something ancient has awakened.

Vorakhys, a primordial god imprisoned beyond the deepest boundaries of the Underworld, has escaped his eternal prison and conquered the kingdom of the dead.

Hades has fallen.

The armies of the Underworld now kneel before a new ruler, while four terrifying generals—the Horsemen of War, Plague, Ruin, and Death—prepare to march upon the world of the living.

Then Vorakhys sees Ithaca.

And he sees Odysseus.

The ancient god discovers something hidden within the legendary warrior—something powerful enough to make Odysseus more valuable alive than dead.

So when Odysseus suddenly collapses during a celebration with his family, his death becomes an impossible mystery.

No poison.

No disease.

No explanation.

His body grows cold.

His veins turn black.

And his soul disappears somewhere between life and death.

As Ithaca prepares to bury its fallen king, an ancient sorcerer arrives.

Aristeon—the Last Oracle of Thessaly.

He knows the impossible truth.

Odysseus is dead.

But his soul has not crossed into the afterlife.

He is trapped between worlds.

And somewhere beyond the boundary of death, Odysseus is still fighting.

While ambitious men plot to seize Ithaca's throne, Telemachus takes up his father's sword and stands against them. With Odysseus's most loyal warriors—Damon, Theron, and Cassian—at his side, he refuses to let his father's kingdom fall.

But the greatest battle is no longer taking place in Ithaca.

It is taking place beyond death.

Because Odysseus has awakened in the Underworld.

And waiting for him is the being who conquered the dead.

Vorakhys.

The ancient god has a purpose for Odysseus.

And if Odysseus refuses to serve him, he will have to fight an army unlike anything the living world has ever faced.

The dead have a new king.

The gods have lost their kingdom.

And Odysseus has entered the afterlife.

His greatest journey is only beginning.
