They blamed a woman for a war. They erased a god for his scars. This story gives them both their fire back.
Before Troy burned, the gods had already chosen cruelty.
Cast from Olympus for his imperfection, Hephaestus learns early that survival is an act of creation. In the depths of his forge, he shapes meaning from fire, silence from rage, and truth from rejection—never knowing his fate will one day entwine with the most misremembered woman in myth.
Helen of Sparta has spent her life watched, bartered, and rewritten. When war consumes the world in her name, her voice is buried beneath legend—until her words are preserved in secret, waiting for someone brave enough to listen.
Fire Forged is a mythological reimagining told through memory, craft, and consequence. It is not a tale of heroes and villains, but of how gods fracture lives, how beauty becomes a weapon, and how creation itself can be an act of rebellion.
This is a story for readers who seek myth with teeth— where fire remembers, silence speaks, and truth refuses to remain buried.
Some flames are meant to destroy. Others are meant to endure.
