Publisher's Summary

Eight years of imprisonment in hell...breaking out...escaping to Earth to start a new life...

The best-selling author of the Anime Trope System presents: The Fallen Throne series. Half-Blood Rising, the first ATS Universe novel.

Epex Helios is the son of his universe’s head god, and yet, it seems like his destiny for the throne hasn’t quite fleeted him yet, whether he desired the dangerous position or not. Breaking out of hell after what he did invoked a bounty on his head. One being appeared to help him, a powerful goddess and childhood friend. Can he really trust her? Can he train enough to return to his original strength, or will his father crush him to dust?

Epex's path to absolute power will be a challenge. A steady rise, but when he finally snaps, all will bow.

Story is great love interest not so much

This book started off fantastic, the whole premise of it was awesome. But the whole childhood friend/soul mate thing just sucked. Dudes been in hell, beaten and tortured for 8 years doesn’t trust anyone and after like 2 weeks with his childhood friend he’s accepting a relationship when he already said he wasn’t interested and preferred human women..

Honestly other than that the whole story seems awesome and I want to continue this series due to the fact I loved the anime trope system. But I can’t deal with the goddess and his reception of her, yeah use her for training and protection but falling for her.. just doesn’t make sense.

All in all though if you like the whole romance thing fixing a broken heart you’ll love this series I only got like 4-5 hours in

4/5 because I don’t want to give this author a bad star rating due to his other series and it’s only my personal preference of not liking the romance that I don’t enjoy this
