Summary

A god fighting his fate. A prince burdened with secrets. And a romance that could end in flames.

Apollo is a deity… almost. Half mortal and refusing to take his position as god of the sun, he spends his nights drowning out haunting memories and his days avoiding responsibilities. Until his father forces him into an ultimatum: Ascend immediately. Or spend the year mentoring under the obnoxious Prince Hyacinth.

Forced together, Apollo and Hyacinth grapple with their mutual disdain for each other.

But what starts as a kindling of irritation begins to burn into something new. A spark that, if it turns to flame, could incinerate everything they’ve always protected.

A reimagining of the Greek myth of Apollo and Prince Hyacinth, this NA, enemies-to-lovers fantasy series is a whirlwind journey full of romance, intrigue, and enthralling characters.

NOTE: This book is the first in a NA Fantasy series that features mature situations, adult language, and romances that lead to moderate steam as the series progresses.

Very repetitive

There’s so much repetition. Had this book been edited, it’d probably only be an hour long. As a reader, I am aware that it’s a story about “Apollo, the son of Zeus!” so there’s no need to mention it every other minute. Also, the narrator doesn’t distinguish between the different characters, so they all sound the same. Having said that, there are worse books in this genre.

Unique twist on a classic

Great start to what is probably going to be a good series. Enemies to lovers, forbidden love, gods, princes, princesses, unicorns and questioning gender roles… all my favorite things.
