The Golden Lion of Heliadene

On the continent of Helliadne, where the gods are real, monsters roam the wilderness, and hundreds of independent city-states worship living deities, seventeen-year-old Kaelion is a farmer living near Kerythos, a fiercely militarized polis. He believes he is an ordinary farm boy until a manticore kills the man who raised him. His hidden divine power awakens, revealing that his father is Aurelios, the living King of the Gods and Lord of the Sun. Taken to a secret sanctuary where the children of gods train, Kaelion faces monsters, divine politics, ancient mysteries, and dangers beyond mortal understanding while discovering what kind of person he wants to become.
