Flamesworn

For centuries, the god of war has slept. Now, they're awake, and war

is coming to Arktos. Ares thought they knew what love was when they obeyed Atreus Akti's

dying wish and slept under the sands of Arktos for centuries. But when

they awake at last, they find the world has changed. Arktos is on the

cusp of a civil war, but most of the Arkoudai no longer want their

patron deity to lead them into battle. Ares' family has grown, and

Ares is left adrift. And their former lover has been reborn into

Kataida Akti, who challenges Ares' concept of love itself. As the daughter of the Strategos, Kataida Akti has always tried to be

a loyal soldier of Arktos - despite a restlessness and quiet longing

for combat that has plagued her for most of her life. When War comes

to Arktos, she's eager to prove herself and finally satisfy the

bloodlust that burns like a flame under her skin, but soon learns the

reality of this particular conflict involves far more than a cult who

seeks to take over Arktos. As Ares lends their sword and their

presence to the battle - and Kataida's bed - Kataida will have to

confront long-buried desires of her own, along with truths that will

shock Arktos to the core. (Flamesworn is a f/non-binary(genderfluid) fantasy romance, featuring

natural power exchange/biological kink imperative, and a love story

between a dominant, delightfully sadistic lady soldier and a

submissive, cheerfully masochistic god of war.)
