The Divine shards— The lost shard

When the gods shatter, so does the world. Zeus lies broken, his divine essence scattered into shards across a dying realm. Kronos, the Titan who once devoured his children, now hungers for every fragment—to claim ultimate power and unmake time itself. To seize them, he forges weapons from mortal flesh and unbreakable will: legions of oath-bound soldiers, cursed to serve or wither into endless decay. Stelios is one such weapon. A survivor of the brutal Gauntlet, he bears a body torn by conflicting powers—the golden will to create and amplify, the silver curse to negate and destroy. Every breath drags him closer to becoming a husk, a monument to his betrayal of Kronos's law. Rescued by the very people he is sent to hunt—Ronan the unyielding shield, Aric the assassin, and Elias the vessel of a shard—Stelios is thrust into a desperate quest: breach the ancient Forge of Hephaestus, claim the Divine Flame to burn away his curse… or let it consume him. But the Forge mirrors perfection, and perfection has no mercy for the flawed.  The blood in his veins is no longer just curse. It is the key.
