Thunder Awakens The God-King’s Daughter Goes on a Rampage

In an age when the old gods have fallen and the Church rules the North in the name of the “Supreme God,” Alice, a blacksmith in Black Iron Town—and secretly the daughter of Zeus—wants nothing more than to protect her forge and her younger sister, Lily. During a brutal snowstorm, she rescues Hades, a silver-haired man on the verge of death from a mysterious frost poison. Unbeknownst to her, he is the true King of the Underworld, betrayed and ambushed by his own men. Hiding his identity, Hades introduces himself as “Ian,” a down-on-his-luck scholar. Desperate for a place to recover, he strikes a marriage bargain with Alice: she gets a husband to keep the town’s gossip at bay, and he gets a roof over his head. She is fiercely strong, hot-tempered, and impossible to intimidate. He appears frail and harmless, but beneath that sickly facade lies a man far more powerful—and dangerous—than anyone realizes. As ordinary domestic life collides with assassination attempts, Church persecution, and secrets neither of them is ready to reveal, their marriage of convenience slowly becomes something real. What begins as suspicion and mutual testing turns into fierce loyalty, until the blacksmith with the power of a god and the fallen ruler of the Underworld become the one weakness neither can afford to lose.
