In ancient Greece, a boy born with healing powers and the rare ability to speak to animals is torn from his home when soldiers raid his village. His mother is killed, and he is dragged into the war encampments where cruelty is the only language spoken. Claimed by Ares, the god of war, he is marked to become a soldier whose life belongs to bloodshed.
Raised under brutal discipline, he fights in arenas where boys are pitted against beasts to prove their worth. Wolves and a massive bear are unleashed to kill him - but his strange bond with animals saves him. Instead of tearing him apart, they become his companions, the only warmth in a world ruled by violence.
But the darkest betrayal comes from the man who commands him - a higher officer feared by every soldier. The boy never trusted him, never liked him, never felt safe near him. And he was right. Because beneath the armor and authority, the officer hides a monstrous secret. One night, driven by hunger and cruelty, he turns the boy into a vampire, binding him to a curse he never asked for.
Now claimed by Ares, cursed by a vampire, and touched by the moon's strange power, he walks between divinity and damnation. With wolves at his side and a bear guarding his path, he must uncover why the gods marked him... and why a monster chose him.
His fate was forged by gods. His curse was given by a tyrant. His future belongs to the darkness he refuses to bow to.
