A Greek winery should be a place of sunlight, laughter, and the slow alchemy of grapes into gold. But beneath the vines of the Andronikou estate, something ancient is still thirsty-and it has learned how to wear civilization like a mask.
When winemaker Iris Andronikou discovers a ritual murder staged in her family cellar, she pulls at a thread her bloodline has been hiding for centuries. What begins as a local tragedy spirals into a global nightmare as bodies surface across capitals-tongues marked, mouths filled with wine, politics shifting overnight as if nations themselves are being poured into madness.
With a ragtag crew at her side-Runi, a fearless hacker with a talent for finding secrets people kill to keep; Angela, an Interpol analyst chasing the shadow that stole her father; and Jack, a battle-worn journalist who's tracked the same symbol through disasters for years-Iris races to expose Helios Cultural Preservation, a philanthropic front for a cabal older than modern law.
But the conspiracy isn't just human.
The Circle's power is rooted in Dionysos, not the playful wine god of festivals, but a dark, hungry force bound beneath stone-an underground mouth fed by vows, silence, and blood. And Iris has been marked since birth to become its perfect vessel.
As romance sparks in the middle of terror and humor flickers where it shouldn't, Iris and her friends infiltrate island galas, survive masked escorts, and turn the Circle's theater against them-broadcasting the truth before it can be buried. To end the murders and save her family, Iris must do the one thing her lineage was trained to do... and then defy it.
Because the only way to stop the pour is to break the bowl.
Blood Vines & Broken Oaths: Dionysos is a supernatural horror thriller packed with suspense, mystery, dark humor, and slow-burn romance-set against the wine-dark beauty of Greece, where mythology isn't a story. It's a weapon.
Perfect for readers who love:
ancient-myth horror with modern conspiracies
cults, cabals, and ritualized crime
haunted settings and subterranean secrets
found-family teamwork and ragtag heroes
romance under pressure, with bite
Open the bottle. Hear the singing. Try not to pour.
