I've read Archeron and all the others but this one by far mad my opinion on the others more understanding. Ash is always telling his DH there is always three sides to every story but be never ever considered what his own brother did or has been through, he just couldn't listen to his own advice if he did he would known all the horrors and pain his brother went through for him, if he did he would have never held a grudge for is little brother,yes Archeron was firstborn.
Styxx always stuck up for his brother and loved him until a lie was told and then the two were torn apart. Styxx was never the favorite spoiled entitled Prince everyone thought him to be, everyone hated him since birth. At 5 he want never allowed toys to play with by 8 he was forced to attend politics meetings, and he had a retired General as a mentor in battle before he could even handle a weapon. His mother, after and sister hated him, his brother had their sister's love. We know about their sick twisted uncle but you will read how Styxx tried to save his brother from the uncle.but he two was caufh for 2 months drugged and used along side his brother and branded as a wh©re by his brother and uncle.
Years later his uncle will be back his the same home as Styxx and will be repeatedly drugged and raped by the sick baster to be sold to the high class men in Styxx home town. Until the uncle pushes things to far and Styxx committed treason by killing his uncle. To free his brother from being used as a wh©re.
At 16 he fell in love with a blind young lady, Bethany, but then he also had to got to war and lead troops, their target was the one place he been Atlantis, also to fight the evils that held and tainted his brother. Everything this man did was to help a brother he loved no matter how much pain and suffering he did he always loved, even when his family, town and God's turned the brothers against each other.
After getting Styxx's side of their history I felt that Archeron was the follower that everyone made him to be, granted he learned from his mistakes, but not once since his rebirth did he ever find out the truth of his brother and found out the real truth of what happened. Yes Artemis lied about his perfect life on the tropical island in Hades and keep the lie going until one of her brothers, God of drunken, released him in Talons story was when Archeron knew his brother was back and was so a red as shot that the truth will come public, at least to the DH want Ash really is and his history.
When did Ash finally start thinking differently about Styxx... when Ash's son was born and Styxx sent something to Bas,a gift that Styxx has in his small chest of very personal treasured items. Something that Archeron gave to Styxx to keep until Archeron was safe to have it back. Over 11,500+ years later Styxx sent it and Ash wants to learn the real truth of his brother.
Bethany and Styxx are star crossed souls that have been bounded together for over 14,000 years from before she became in her second life as a Goddess of two Parthenons Atlantians and Egyptian, Daddy is Set but she was not born in her first life she his Set's Light to his Dark and her first love his Styxx's so many greats uncle, founder of his home village.
As I read this one I also went back to Archeron's story and did compare them as well as the others where Styxx sometimes showed up to refresh what happened is others P.O.V.'s. Warning if you didn't like Apollo before you will really really hate him in this one and know how mush he really despised the sister, oh and you will see a whole different side of Ryssa, Apollymi, and more and know the truth behind who the real parents of Urian.
