Well written military story with plenty of action and a fast pace. I like the way Gideon and Drago work as a team. I'm looking forward to book three.

[Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.]

In the land of the ancient gods, young gods and goddesses attend a college at the Temple of Power to learn more about their roles and their powers. Marduk is one such young god, who finds himself interested in another god--one of his classmates--on his first day of classes. This interest leads him down a dark path, however, as he finds himself lured into and claimed by a secret order of gods at the college who keep their newest member as a sex slave. Marduk knows the way out is to lure a new god to take his place, but he can't bring himself to do it. And when he finds himself falling for a new god to the school, Anu-Akad, the order gives him an ultimatum: deliver Akad to them or they will take him anyway and Marduk will remain their pet for eternity...

A wonderful convergence of several mythologies in one book. There's a rich world here that the author has created and the unique intersections are rather interesting. And the struggle that Marduk faces is portrayed quite vividly making it easy to understand how he was feeling as he tried to sort through his situation.

I will say that the content here is somewhat extreme and intense. More than one scene of non-con occurs and other forms of ongoing and repeated abuse. Normally, I'd honestly shy away from a book that's so heavy on that type of content, but the way it's handled and the overall story is so well done, that it didn't seem gratuitous to me. I do want to make the content warning quite clear, though.
