   Summary

   “Freedom is the source from which all significations and all values spring…” — Simone de Beauvoir

   The bargain was simple: their safety for his soul.

   Now Luke is the mother of a god’s children, kept like a trophy in the birthplace of Olympus’ cleverest monster. Between nursing a son who carries his captor’s face and the games of a daughter who loves her father's lies, Luke is being hollowed out.
    
   He has given the King of Thieves everything: his body, his pride, and even his dignity. 

   He is not free. But he is alive. 

   Even if he'd rather not be.
