Description

Raised in a Greek legion to obey without question, Phaidros is thrown off course when a rescue at Thebes forces him to abandon a baby—and to guard a secret that will haunt him for years. When panic and flashbacks drive him into the Queen’s service, he is tasked with finding the vanished crown prince, only to discover that the trail leads to a blue-eyed witch calling herself Dionysus. As riots flare and rumors spread of a god lost to fire and sired by Zeus, Phaidros must navigate a world where devotion, desire, and danger blur into one another. With Natasha Pulley’s signature blend of historical atmosphere and emotionally charged storytelling, this timely reimagining of Dionysus becomes a queer love story about survival, agency, and the strange, necessary ways we learn to be human.
