The music and clinking of cups in Zeus’s banquet hall stopped dead when the great doors swung open. Dóreos, son of Ares and Aphrodite, stepped across the threshold. His dangerous beauty and piercing blue gaze silenced the room. Gods turned their eyes away or watched him with caution. Passions tightened; his unusual presence promised change. No one knew his purpose, but every immortal felt the impact.
