Aphrodite’s Favor

Summary:

The Eagle Bearer, famed misthios, grandson of King Leonides, favoured by the Gods. But before he earned his standing in the world, he was simply Alexios, a Spartan boy raised on Kephallonia after suffering a tragedy. Lonely, his only companion being a golden eagle and a sketchy conman, Lady Aphrodite takes pity on him. He’s already suffered a number of unbearable tragedies, and yet his trials are far from over. This chosen hero of the Gods, suffering and danger hewn into his very being, is to be gifted with a love that no other will ever experience.
A story of those with the blood of the Gods, who stand by each other in a war torn world and strive to reunite their family. The story of two heroes during the Peloponesian War- Alexios and Althaia.
