The God They Called a Fool

In an ancient Greek world shaped by divine power, Elena faces ridicule and pressure from a family determined to improve its standing. For five years, she has remained beside Aether, a man others dismiss because of his damaged mind. Their bond is tested when Elena is compelled to marry Drakon, an ambitious temple priest, leaving the couple to part on the night before her wedding. That farewell becomes a trap: Drakon attacks, and Aether is left close to death. As Elena’s future is forced into the hands of others, the seemingly helpless man’s concealed nature begins to surface. Aether must confront the hostility surrounding them while protecting Elena from those who have treated them as expendable. Their struggle brings revenge, hidden identities, and a reckoning over who truly holds authority in a world ruled by gods.
