📝 Description: Gods and Mortals

J D Netto’s Gods and Mortals transports readers into the Dark Beyond, a realm where Lucifer and his Fallen Stars remain imprisoned. The narrative follows Bellwound, whose lineage and past love draw him away from quiet existence into this luscious prison guarded by the judged goddess Romiria. His arrival disrupts an ancient order, stirring chaos in what was once sacred land. The plot thickens as Lucifer’s son brings vengeance and the seed of darkness back to the place where the universe began. Oriah returns to his kind, siding with Loghleen in an impending war. Under Lucifer’s promise of freedom from an ancient curse, the pair are crowned rulers over Nephilins. The story reveals that the secret romance between Lucifer and Hanell the Creator was merely the beginning of a larger conflict. This work suits readers interested in supernatural fiction involving divine lineage and fallen angels. It explores the tension between makers and subjects, with death appearing as an uninvited guest in the chaos. Those seeking quiet domestic tales will find this narrative too intense, as holy and unholy beings fight in the world of the living.
