Lightning & Thunder (A Heroes and Romance Novel, 1)

Pollux “Lux” Keraunos, the snarky, tech-savvy descendant of Zeus, operates as a vigilante determined to dismantle the corrupt Hero Council from the shadows. When his brother—the Council’s golden boy—mysteriously vanishes, the organization forces Lux into the spotlight as the new heir. To secure his position, Lux must undergo mandatory training under Erik Thorson, the globally adored descendant of Thor and his brother’s former best friend.

Lux intends to use this proximity to sabotage the Council from within, but his plans are complicated by Erik. While Lux views himself as a villain, Erik embodies the genuine hero archetype, possessing a heart of gold and an infuriatingly earnest belief in Lux’s potential for good. As they navigate high-stakes missions and public scrutiny, the friction between Lux’s cynical edge and Erik’s steadfast loyalty ignites an undeniable, volatile chemistry.

When the truth behind his brother’s disappearance comes to light, Lux finds his vendetta wavering. He must choose between the destruction of the system he loathes and the man who challenges his perception of heroism. Caught in a web of divine legacies and dangerous secrets, Lux discovers that saving the world might require becoming the very thing he fought to escape.
