I thought life would be simple after dealing with Society backstabbing, a creature from another god, and revealing my secret to my closest friends. All I’d have to do was get my new private security company off the ground, deal with Alice’s constant harassment and Tom trying to run my life.
But amidst trying to find a friend who seems to have changed sides, an enemy returns, to offer his help. And a betrayal come to fruition in a rather unexpected way for me. All I wanted was a quiet life of running my company and having guys in my bed, and considering who my god is, it should have been a sure thing, but there are other players within and around this society of ours, and they have plans for me and those around me. So if I want my quiet days, I’m going to have to fight for them, and possibly take to bed the one man I’d rather kill. |
All I wanted, after finding out my god let my parents die, was to crawl in a hole as far away from Him as possible, but He's now haunting my dreams. I wanted to wash my hands of this war the Society has to fight against the Gray Church, so I let Arnold Orr run the show.
But small people like us, whether we wield power or not, don’t get to have a say in what gods want, and it's becoming ever clearer that remaining on the sidelines comes with its own price—one that others seem to be paying in my place. Maybe Damian planned all of it. Maybe we are all nothing more than his puppets, and he has magical hooks into us. But if he thinks the pain he's caused to the people I care about will deter me, he's dead wrong. |
