What it is about
Banished and misunderstood as a child of the Phoenix Clan, Lyla is abandoned by her parents and cast into the cursed Fields of Erebus. Enduring suffering and trials, she encounters Moros, messenger of fate, and Ares—the fierce God of War, who appears both as a man and as the Little Black Snake. As Lyla and Ares share hardship and escape, a deep bond and love develop. During her rise, she learns that Ares is her true mate—and the fiancé of her sister, Carson. At their Temple wedding, truths are unveiled and conflicts erupt over divine power, but Lyla desires only an ordinary life with Ares, refusing the pursuit of status and might. To protect Lyla, Ares wages war against the gods. Tested by divine punishment and the power of true godly blood, Lyla reveals her status as the true heir of the Phoenix Divine Bird, defeats her enemies, and, together with Ares, ignites the Supreme Sacred Flame atop Mount Olympus—forever restoring the honor of the Phoenix Clan.
