Epic Journey of Love, Lust, Betrayal,
Rage, and Redemption

The Complete no-box set.
ASIN: B00RI9I2CO
Series Description:
Fall in Love with Ares God of War
and Alena MacLeod. Together they Rock the World from the Heights of Olympus to
the Celtic Moors.
In The Heart of War, Magdalena
MacLeod has been on the run from Cernunnos, Great Horned God, for 200 years
when she mysteriously washes ashore on secluded isle of the God of War. When
the Olympians discover her presence on Ares' island, they send Apollo to the
island to retrieve her while Ares is away. Diplomatically winding her way out
of immediately going to Olympus and having nowhere to turn, Alena strikes a
bargain with the God of War--her virginity for his protection.
Ares sees a sweeter deal; her in
his bed and himself back in his rightful place on Olympus even if it means
turning Alena over to Zeus. After Alena proves herself to Ares in battle and
his bed, the God of War must choose between his Divinely Dysfunctional Family,
his pride, and Alena.
Child of War-A God is Born Ares and Alena have settled on snowy Olympus
to await the birth of their son, Raven. Before Raven is even born, Zeus
outwardly despises him for his Fey blood. With only one to keep his family safe
from his father, Zeus the God of Gods, Ares enters into a blood pact that could
cost the God of War everything he holds dear.
After a harrowing birth wherein mother
and son are nearly lost to Ares, it quickly becomes clear that Raven may be the
most powerful and cunning Olympian ever born despite his muddled bloodline.
Zeus, Apollo, and Aphrodite plot against the new family by carefully planting
the seeds of rage and doubt in Ravens' mind, they turn son against mother. It
appears as though Cernunnos' prophecy is coming to life as Raven grows to be a
very angry young man.
As the true past between the
Olympians and Celts is revealed, the battle for Ravens' mind and the ultimate
control of Olympus begins. Before it's over, the white snows of Olympus will
run red with blood.
Child of War-Rising Son sees
Raven on the verge of manhood as his rampage continues and he begins the
difficult path to Acceptance by his fellow Olympians. Out to prove he's as
good, if not better than, any of them he bests the Trials set before him by
Hades and Poseidon. This isn't enough for him, in his quest to prove to his
Father, Ares, that he is an Olympian Raven preys upon the Mortals below Olympus
in a time of great weakness. Enlisting the aid of his Uncle Apollo and settling
for nothing less than utter Chaos, together they push the Mortals to pure
anarchy. Ready to conquer the remainder of his Trials so he may take his place
at the Counsel Table, and bring Ares the glory Cernunnos once prophesized, only
one thing stands in his way; the night his Mother fell down the stairs.
Apollo, ever the Man Behind the
Curtain, pulls Raven's strings like a true puppet master. It's far too late
when Raven realizes all he's done in hopes of pleasing his Father actually
makes Ares look guilty of destroying the Mortal World. A little Chaos and a
little Anarchy aren't enough for the Golden God, in his on-going quest to
destroy Ares, Apollo sets a plague loose upon the embroiled Earth. By the time
the Olympians discover what's going on twenty million people are dead with the
number multiplying exponentially every day.
Women of War gives us a brief
reprieve from the death and darkness as we journey backward in time spanning
four generations of women in Alena's family. From her great-grandmother, Shar
Draiocht the last known Queen of the Dark Kingdom to her tortured daughter
Morrowind, to Maven Alena's free-spirited mother and through the lonely life of
Alena MacLeod ending where The Heart of War begins with the night Alena washes
up on Ares' shore. With intensity, lust, fear, and strength these Women of War
make their way in the world revealing the hidden truths of the past and Ares
true connection to his beloved Wife, Alena.
Kingdoms of War, the OF WAR
Series Finale, sees nearly four billion souls lost to the ravages of Anarchy
and the dreaded disease Major Falls.
Ares, Athena, and Raven journey the Mortal World vainly reaching for a
sliver of what was only to discover what will be. From the fiery wreckage a new
world is slowly arising one where the descendants of Olympians, Celts, Dark
Fae, and all manner of Magickal Being will rule.
Ares and Athena wander the world,
hoping to curtail further damage by obliterating weapons of mass destruction
the Wolf inside the God of War slowly succumbs to Major Falls. A rabid God of
War is not a pretty sight. Soon it becomes clear that Ares may not live to see
the glory of Olympus restored.
By the time Ares' fevered body is
brought to Olympus, Apollo's descent into madness is utterly complete. The Gold
God is quite insane as he expertly kills off the members of his Divinely
Dysfunctional Family. Yet, Alena's greatest nemesis holds the key to saving
Ares' life. The price is high and, should she pay it, Alena can't be sure Ares
would ever be able to forgive her.

With nearly four billion souls
lost to the ravages of anarchy and the dreaded disease Major Falls, Ares and
Raven journey the Mortal World vainly reaching for a sliver of what was only to
discover what will be. Unleashed by Apollo, Major Falls—a weaponized version of
the flu and rabies-- has wiped out every person of watery Mortal Blood.
From the fiery wreckage a new
world is slowly arising one where the descendants of Olympians, Celts, Dark
Fae, and all manner of Magickal Being will rule. For the last millennium the
Dark Kingdom has sent small legions of its Daughters in search of its Lost
Queen. Among their number is Lenora, a sharp tongued Dark Fae who joins up with
ARES hoping to get close to its leader, Raven. And she does.
The Wolf inside the God of War
contracts Major Falls. As Ares and Athena wander the world hoping to curtail
further damage by obliterating weapons of mass destruction he slowly succumbs
to the sickness taking over his fevered rabid mind. Ares may not live to see
the glory of Olympus restored nor fight to keep his Wife. If he does, how high
will be the price for Ares' life? How long will Alena have to keep paying
Apollo even once Ares is crowned King of Olympus?
With devastating consequences
shattering their lives will Ares ever be able to swallow his pride and forgive
Alena when the truth is revealed or will she take her place on the Throne of
the Dark Kingdom leaving Olympus and Ares behind forever?
About
the Author:
It was in the 4th grade when Lisa
discovered she was a naturally gifted writer. The teacher asked the class to
pen a story about a baby bird's first flight and read them to the class.
Putting pencil to paper, Lisa was instantly whisked away by a force she
couldn't explain. When they were finished, all of the children read their happy
stories to the class.
Not Lisa. She got up and told of
how the baby bird flew too high, hit a plane, crashed to the ground and died.
She told of how the mama bird and daddy bird cried of how even God was upset
sending the rains pouring from the sky. The class was speechless when she
finished all they could do was stare at her. The teacher kept her after class
told her the story was very good but it was different from the others. She
asked Lisa if she'd ever heard of Icarus and did she base her story on him.
Lisa had yet to encounter Greek Mythology or hear a whisper of Icarus. As Lisa
left the classroom the teacher again told her how good the story was but
suggested she might want to write something happier next time. When Lisa asked
her teacher why she had no answer. Luckily for us, Lisa I never took her
advice.
Lisa Beth Darling is 49
years-old, lives in her hometown of New London, CT with her husband of nearly
30 years, Roy. She is the author of more
than fifteen novels along with several short stories and non-fiction books.
