The House Of Hades Book Pdf Novels & Stories

The light consumed him, turning him to a pillar of flame, then to ash, then to nothing. I collapsed to my knees, panting. My skin ached, my limbs felt like molten lead, but I was still alive. Barely. I turned, hoping I’d see the Raven Gate opening for me, giving me a chance to flee. But instead, the sky cracked. The realm shook. And the voice I feared most spoke again. “Hmph. You destroyed him faster than I expected,” came Hades’s voice from the shadows. “But I knew you’d do it. That’s why I planned... better.”

The smoke turned green, and Hades appeared with a burst of wind and a laugh. "You foolish man, yet you say that the gods were selfish. Either way, I don't care." "Just help me and shut up.

Hades jumped away from me then but he didn’t step too far away from me and just as he did, the door suddenly opened, revealing his two brothers. They were people I didn’t know, but at this point, I already hated them. Chad’s eyes danced with amusement as he looked between Hades and I, and when it rested on the tent now formed on Hades’ trouser, he smirked and whispered; “Brother, why weren’t we invited to the party too?”
