Book excerpt: He will bow or he will break... A goddess is nothing without respect. As the Queen of the Dead, I wield the power of mortality, commanding homage from man and god alike. All save one. The God of War, Nergal. He refuses to bow—refuses my sovereignty over life. The arrogance! He makes a mockery of the Underworld. If only he would bend. If only those jade green eyes didn’t tempt my heart and see into my very soul. If only… No! I cannot allow his insult to go unanswered. He will bow at my feet, or the armies of the dead will rise and consume the living. By the darkness, I swear. Fans of Hades and Persephone will love this mythological retelling of the Marriage of Ereshkigal and Nergal from ancient Sumerian Mythology.
