“Eurydce Otherwise” is a complete short story about a mountain nymph who clashes with the lord of the underworld. But it’s also the first chapter in the saga of Lord Dìs.

Artemis in Chase is a complete novella in which the goddess of the hunt seeks vengeance for the murder of one of her retinue. But it is also the second chapter telling of Dìs’ further fall from grace.

And so it goes for the rest of the seven-tale series.

Now all seven tales are collected in one book to form the braided novel that is the more correct term for the larger story.

He chose hell to preserve his brothers. Will his choice prove his destruction?

Lord Dìs hungers. After millennia expending his immense strength to sustain hell and its shades, the dark god of the dead craves light, love, and life. But this arrogant king of the underworld is stunned when the mountain nymph he steals to be his queen—a glorious creature of sun and breeze—repudiates him and threatens his throne.

Infuriated and desperate, Dìs hunts down a forest nymph to siphon the leaf-dapple and quietude from her soul and replenish his ebbing power. But one such banquet demands another, and as Dìs extinguishes spirit after spirit to feed his ravening need, he drowns beneath an inward tide of darkness, desolation, and death.

Dragging a chain of evil deeds behind him, will Dìs seek redemption? Or will he embrace perdition with the damned?

The Hades Cycle is a braided novel of mythic fantasy. Tales of lovers, friends, and enemies twine through Dìs’ saga to reveal secrets otherwise hidden. If you enjoy deep mythology brought to vivid life, heroes of passion and will, and epic sacrifice, you’ll love this gripping story of the old gods.
