The new God of war is unsatisfied with how he earned his position. His former competition, the numerous demigods of his generation, all died pitifully to his schemes. But, he is a “merciful” God, so he will give them one more chance.

20 years into the past, Marcus Carbo and every other demigod in the land receives a revelation of what is to come. They can no longer blame ignorance for their fall. If they want to live, they must fight. But, the one responsible for their downfall has received this knowledge as well. Once again, he is preparing for war.
