The story continues from Immortal Journey: Death of Innocence where a once-peaceful valley is invaded by a king and his legion of warriors searching for streets of gold. Instead of treasures, the foreigners encounter a shape-shifting priestess who destroys much of their ranks but in doing so, devastates her own people. In the savage chaos that ensues, Ares the Destroyer steals Niala Aaminah away, claiming she is not a simple priestess, but a goddess in disguise. He keeps her captive in his mountain fortress and seeks to force her into remembering who she really is. After Niala becomes pregnant with War's child, she escapes Ares' clutches but confusion clouds her mind and the truth is still uncertain. This is a novel of mythic proportions, bringing the mortal world of Najahmara, a village of peaceful folk, into a battle between Eternal Love and Endless War. Based on Greek mythology and the real reason the old gods existed, there comes a reckoning for one woman who refused her real identity.
