The Sun God’s Beloved

At the Temple of Philotia, Kallydia carries out her duties as head priestess while her mother treats her as a means to earn gold. Enchanted incense draws her into a night with Helios, the Sun God, but she disappears at dawn, leaving behind a silver armband bearing her name. Helios had begun to care for her, yet a false impression turns his feelings into anger and cuts off their connection. When Kallydia learns she is pregnant, she must endure family pressure and public shame while protecting the dim golden glow within her womb. The arrival of the God of War and Goddess of Wisdom brings a revelation: the woman Helios condemned is the gentle maidservant they remember.
