Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was a master of folk horror. A Fragment of Life, his short novel from 1906, overlays his unique mystical theology with his psychogeographic visions of the grey streets of London, and blends them with…a love story. A young husband and wife, Edward and Mary Darnell, notice weird, dark forces crowding around their lives, and these odd happenings begin to wreak a strange alchemy in them.

In the gripping sequel to Battle of the Throne, God’s Gambit thrusts the beleaguered brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades into the aftermath of their devastating defeat by Kronos. Amidst the ruins, Hades befriends an extraordinary ally: Cerberus, a three-headed dog with the unique ability to see the past, present, and future. As the specter of defeat looms large, the gods are forced to confront their own mortality and the possibility of another catastrophic loss.

Four brothers, four gods, and the epic saga of their battle to dethrone the vicious tyrant Kronos. On Olympus, the balance of power is teetering on the edge of chaos. The once-harmonious land now languishes under the grip of a cruel tyrant Kronos, whose evil ambitions know no bounds and whose rule casts doom over the land. Yet, from Olympus itself emerges four elemental gods representing Fire, Water, Soil, and Air.
