Storm
of the Gods
An
Areios Brothers Novel #1
by
Amy Braun
Genre:
Urban Fantasy
Thirty
years ago, the gods of Greek legend returned to the world. Their
return restored their powers, which had been spent in a cataclysmic
battle with the Titans. With the ancient deities imprisoned in
Tartarus, the Olympians now reside in Néo Vasíleio, formerly known
as California.
Twenty-four-year-old
Derek Aerios is a war scion, a descendant of Ares, the God of War. He
and his brother, eighteen-year-old Liam, capture mythological
creatures and rogue scions as part of Ares's elite military force. As
he struggles to cope with his violent powers and the scars of a
traumatic childhood, Derek tries to keep the two vows he has made:
protect his brother, and never kill a human again.
But
when Ares forces him to hunt and kill four rogue scions under
Athena's control—by threatening Liam's life—Derek chooses to go
after the scions in order to save his brother and keep his promise to
himself.
Yet
the closer Derek gets to the scions, the more he realizes that his
orders are part of a deeper conspiracy that put him at odds with his
mission and his conscience. Athena may not be the enemy, a traitor
could be in their midst, and the Titans could be closer to freedom
than ever before.

What can we expect from you in
the future?
2018
was a busy year for me, and I’m hoping that 2019 will continue to
be so. I’m thrilled to release Hunt
of the Gods,
and I plan on writing the first book of a young adult fantasy that
I’ll send to literary agents in hopes of having it bought and maybe
published. I’ll also be working on the third book in the Areios
Brothers series.
Lastly, I’ll be looking at possibly re-releasing a collection of
horror stories from my early publishing days now that some of the
rights have returned to me, as well as my standalone story Path
of the Horseman.
I’m not planning on getting all of this done this year, and will be
focusing on the first two projects more than the others.
Do
you have any “side stories” about the characters?
I
do! There will be a mini story included in Hunt
of the Gods told
from Selena’s perspective, as well as a collection of stories from
Selena and Liam’s POV’s that will be released in an anthology,
but I have no idea when the release date will be.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
I
suppose it was when I had my first short story published by a small
publishing house called Mocha Memoirs Press. It was a story about a
necromancer who gets roped into working for the mafia to raise a
ghost assassin. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not much, but
it was the first time I considered myself a professional.
What
are you passionate about these days?
I
have a big love for coloring books to help me relax, and I’m
huuuuge into anime right now. I haven’t seen all the classics yet,
but my current favorites are Full
Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Castlevania, Berserk, Fate/Zero, and
Hellsing
Ultimate.
