The God Wars: Conquered Gods

By: P. L. Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They called him the God of War. Now, Rome calls him fuel.

Ares, once the embodiment of brutal conflict, lies broken and chained in the Tullianum Infinitum, Rome's lightless divine prison. Stripped of his power, his very essence siphoned to fuel the legions that conquered Olympus, he is reduced to a mere asset – a battery awaiting depletion. The cold iron bites deep, the silence broken only by the mocking visits of Mars, his Roman counterpart and jailer.

But beneath the crushing weight of despair and the constant drain, the fire of the War God is not extinguished. Forced into agonizing stillness, Ares begins a new kind of battle – one fought with observation, patience, and carefully hoarded hate. Whispers of rebellion echo from other caged gods, fragile alliances form in shadow and silence, and desperate gambles are made against impossible odds.

When Roman patience wears thin and the threat of utter annihilation looms, Ares is cast from the cold dark into the burning heart of Vulcan’s Ignis Carcer. Facing the horrors of the Soul-Forge, trapped deep beneath a volcano, Ares must adapt or be unmade. Can the God of War learn a new way to fight, forging weapons from desperation and alliances from shared torment, or will he become just another scream lost in the furnace?

Dive into the first book of a gripping new epic fantasy saga where gods are pawns, empires are forged in stolen power, and even a conquered god can spark a war.
