The Flame Before The Fall: A Forbidden Gods Romance

The Hidden Realm Series Prequel 

Aphrodite has spent eternity surrounded by devotion.

But none of it is real.

Until she meets him.

Helios is the only god who doesn’t bow, doesn’t worship, and doesn’t fall under her influence. Their connection is immediate equal, consuming, and dangerous.

But the gods don’t allow love like theirs to exist.

When Zeus forces Helios to leave, Aphrodite is left with nothing but the memory of a love that burned too bright to survive.

Seeking escape, she enters the human world… and finds something she never expected.

Peace. Stability. A different kind of love.

But when she discovers she’s carrying Helios’ child, everything changes.

Because this isn’t just a secret.

It’s a threat.

And protecting her child will cost her everything.
