First Rose

Five years after the cataclysmic events in Tadena, Helio is living her best life-until her sister, Zalika, gets attacked and her niece, Nyssa, is kidnapped. And to make matters worse, Zalika has transferred her responsibility as the deity of technology to Helio.

Desperate to find the culprit and her niece, Helio sets out on a journey with her best friend, Julyen, to enlist the help of two other deities, Zanoah and Caean. Not only is she worried about Nyssa, she's also having to deal with the new forces coursing through her, which she's unable to fully grasp and control.

Their journey brings them to Evergarden, the home of Ambroz, the deity of lust and Helio's new mentor. But learning to control her powers from him isn't the only connection they form. As the two fall for each other, Helio finds herself torn between her attraction to Ambroz, missing her peaceful life in Tadena, worries about Nyssa and Zalika, and her fear of facing her sister's attacker-who wants to vanquish every single deity and cleanse the world of them.

Can she face the man she once loved? And what will happen when she does?
