eBook by Aaron Crash, James Hunter
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a mission off the coast of Cyprus, he stumbles onto a long-abandoned island — and into an age-old battle between good and evil. The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. Jacob's arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the darkness at bay. Now, wielding a sacred gem containing Ares' power, he must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold — or Hades will unleash his army of the damned.

Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a mission and stumbles onto a long-abandoned island — and into an ancient battle between good and evil. The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, and Jacob's arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding darkness at bay. Now, wielding a sacred gem containing Ares' power, he must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the stronghold before Hades unleashes his army of the damned.

Three weeks since Jacob crash-landed on the mythical island of Lycastia, and he's finally found his footing — grown into his power, built his city, and earned his Amazons' respect. But Hades still lives, and the sigil holding him at bay is rapidly failing. Jacob learns of a legendary weapon buried deep in the island's bowels, powerful enough to kill gods. If he can defeat its primordial guardians and subdue an exiled Titan, he might just save the world.

Armed with the Crystal Scythe, Jacob is ready to bring the fight to Hades himself. But Earl Necro Earl and his undead forces stand in the way first. When a mysterious woman arrives at their gates with no memory of who she is — but knowledge of a secret passageway into the Temple of Hades — Jacob finally has the last piece of the puzzle. With every victory, however, he is tempted to give in to the rage and arrogance that consumed Ares himself.
