About this audiobook
THE HERALD, BOOK ONE
A goddess walks into a martial arts school in North Carolina and claims the man inside as her herald. He offers her coffee. She is not amused.
Michael Johnson teaches people how to protect themselves. He has no interest in divine politics or cosmic wars. But Aphrodite's avatar did not ask permission. Neither did the shadow living behind his ribs, the one feeding on his bloodline for ten generations.
Now the gods are sending their avatars. A war god drops him inside a 1987 action film. A goddess of wisdom rewrites his mind. A god of law summons him before a court of starlight. And the demons litigate. They file claims on human souls using binding contracts and grow stronger every time a god is forgotten.
The shadow is still watching.
