A HERO AND A CURSE...

Image showing A Hero and a Curse by Christopher Wild displayed across multiple formats, including paperback, smartphone, and tablet, featuring the book cover of Book One of The Age of Heroes.

The future of Olympus hangs by a thread.

​

In this dark, epic reimagining of Greek mythology, cracks appear among the Olympians as ancient grudges flare and whispers of rebellion ripple through the divine palaces. Gods once loyal to Zeus plot to seize his throne, driven by their insatiable lust for power.

​

With murder and manipulation rife, an impending curse threatens devastation. As alliances shatter and destinies collide, the question is no longer who will rule – but whether Olympus can survive the inevitable chaos that lies ahead.

​

The first book in The Age of Heroes series, where legends clash and new myths are forged.
