The Fates discover a Thread of Life whose choice in romance will shape his future as well as the potential future of mankind. Consulting Athena, the Fates are joined by several other gods, and a battle for candidates ensues, alternatingly peaceful, devious, and vicious. Meanwhile on Earth, Riley is unsure of his growing attachment to the hunky surfer Dylan when the enigmatic and gorgeous Evo comes into his life. He casually dates both men, his internal tension mounting, until the battle of gods and human desire explodes in a climax whose outcome could mean everything.
Darren Endymion was born 28 years ago (a number that has not changed in several years) on the beaches of California. He was raised by a gaggle of harpies that helped breed into him a sarcasm so natural that he would likely die without it. They taught him how to read and write at a very young age, and instilled in him a love of horror movies, fantasy novels, writing, and man-flesh. For some time he tried to deny his true nature, but he has since settled back into writing and chasing boys.
