Welcome to Lorinthia where Greek mythology meets the romantic fantasy genre as never seen before.
Lorinthia is facing dark times
Living under the rift, a spell cast by a Sorceress to banish the gods, the people of Lorinthia must battle against the spread of darkness she seeks to unleash. Scorned by Hades, she has united with his son to amass enough power to rule on a single throne and ultimately create immortals of her own.
The power she seeks is found in the blood of the demigods and their descendants. They must unite and use their powers to defeat the Sorceress, break the rift and rescue the missing.
Meanwhile, in a land where love and lust run high, who can be trusted and who seeks to destroy can be hard to distinguish.
For romantasy lovers who enjoy a book with Greek mythology vibes. Friends / lovers / enemies all mixed in. Plus world-building, magic/power systems and mythical creatures as well.
It is set in another world which the Greek gods used to visit before a rift was created to prevent their return. The demigods that remain are the only ones who can save Lorinthia from falling under the rule of evil forces. Aside from this the main character, Tiama, is on a path of both self-discovery and also falling fast for one of her best friends. There is a classic battle of good v evil underpinning this book but some characters fall into a grey category - which side they are on is unclear.
Greek mythology reimagined in a different world. Interesting magic system and twists I didn’t see coming. Not normally my sort of thing but this one kept me hooked.
