The Curse of Blood

Before the myth. Before the empire. There was a boy.

A father lost to conquest. A kingdom ruled by fear. A boy trained to kill or be discarded.

Inachus is heir to a rising empire—but only if he can survive it.

As a brutal warmaster shapes him into a weapon, and a single act of defiance dooms his only friend, Inachus learns the true price of loyalty, power, and blood. When legacy demands cruelty and the gods stay silent, how much of himself will he lose to a world carved by vengeance?

 

Set a decade before The Curse of Beauty, this myth-infused historical prequel dives into the bloodstained origins of Ancient Legends, a sweeping saga that explores the origins of Greek mythology and its true place in history.

 

If you've ever wondered how tyrants are forged—or broken—The Curse of Blood begins with a boy on the edge of a cliff, and a kingdom thirsting for war.

 

What Goodreads and Amazon Readers are Saying:

"Not only is it beautifully written, but it also deals with clinical depression and suicide in a thoughtful, realistic manner."

 

"Merewether has done a fantastic job exploring the situation in a way that can actually help by allowing readers to step out of their own situations and explore alternatives by shouldering the mantle of another life."

 

"Based in ancient Greece, this story narrates the true horror of how children were made to undergo harsh and often merciless training to mould them into future warriors. Powerful, tragic and incredibly well-researched. Highly recommend."
