She found a god bleeding on her floor. She should have turned him away.

Naia is an herbalist on Naxos with a gift for healing and twenty-three years of quietly impossible abilities—storms calm when she sings, the sea responds to her moods, and she can breathe underwater for longer than any mortal should. She has never questioned it. She is about to.

When a wounded stranger with golden blood crashes through her door, she stitches him up and asks questions later. He calls himself Alexios. He is, in fact, Ares—god of war, the most feared being on Olympus, and the last person Zeus wants anywhere near Poseidon’s hidden daughter.

Forced to flee Naxos when divine hunters arrive, Naia and Ares sail together across a war-torn Aegean—past monsters, a truth-telling Gorgon, and a prophecy that changes everything Naia believes about herself. She is not mortal. She is the secret daughter of Poseidon, hidden at birth, and the bond forming between her and the god of war is something ancient and irreversible.

The knotting. A divine fated-mate bond that will either awaken her full power or give Zeus exactly what he needs to destroy them both.

Ares has spent ten thousand years being the thing mortals fear. He has never been chosen. Naia is not afraid of him. She never was.

Knotted by the Olympian is a full-length standalone romantasy set during the Peloponnesian War, featuring:

• A divine knotting mechanic—ancient, irreversible, and very much intentional
• Forced proximity slow burn across the Aegean Sea
• A fierce, funny heroine discovering her own power
• A tortured war god learning to be gentle
• Greek mythology woven throughout—gods, monsters, prophecy, and one deeply condescending octopus
