Beskrivelse
A gripping combination of tragedy and triumph, God of Fire will transport you to a world of gods, monsters and mortals.
In this modern retelling of the classic Greek myths, Hephaestus, the disabled god of fire, is evicted from Mount Olympus and raised beneath the waves by Thetis the sea witch.
Rejected and scorned, Hephaestus must endure physical and emotional pain as he is sentenced to life with the adulterous goddess of love, Aphrodite.
With his foster-mother's help, Hephaestus lays claim to his legacy and finds his saving grace: the ability to forge magical metal artefacts. Of course, the other gods waste no time taking advantage of his inventions.
But the god of fire is nobody's fool. The magic of Hephaestus has a shadow side, as gods and mortals learn to their cost when Zeus orders him to create Pandora and her infamous receptacle...
God of Fire is ideal for anyone who enjoys Greek myth retellings like Circe by Madeline Miller, Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes, or Mythos by Stephen Fry.
