Summer's Son

As the son of Hades and Persephone, Sam's life isn't just complicated—it's mythic.

Sam has spent his life caught between gods and mortals—and it's finally caught up with him.

After a dangerous confrontation leaves everything in question, Sam, the son of Hades and Persephone, walks away from the world he knows. Seeking refuge in the desert town of Echo Mesa, he hopes for peace, anonymity, and a chance to start over.

Instead, he finds family secrets, a charming half-brother he doesn't trust, and a prophecy tied to a Summer Solstice concert that could change everything. As music awakens powers he never fully understood, Sam must decide whether to keep running—or step forward and claim his place.

With danger closing in and loyalties tested, Sam will have to find his voice, face the truth about his family, and choose what kind of hero he wants to be.

Summer's Son is a myth-filled companion novella in the award winning The Phoenix Rising Trilogy. It's a perfect side adventure for readers who love the series, secret legacies, modern mythology, and discovering strength in unexpected ways.
