Aristos's sights were on the rank of archon, and he had a ruthless climb to that rank.īy the second to last Agon, he was archon, and looking to marry the oldest daughter of Demos Perseous, Melora. He also nearly killed Artemis at one point. Belen got some amount of respect for being the son of Aristos Kadmou, but couldn't be his heir in Aristos's mind. He did have an affair, producing Belen Kadmou. Over the course of his career as a hunter, he had six wives, none of which bore a legitimate male heir, or any child at all. This was fueled by his father's vaunted reputation. He absorbed the misogyny of the bloodlines and took it to heart, adopting an attitude characteristic of this mindset that women couldn't ever stand up to him. He took to it well enough to become archon later on. Aristos was a hunter in his mortal life, and was born a Kadmou. Despite all of the warnings, it is an amazing series. Trigger warnings pertaining to Rape, Torture, Drug and Alcohol abuse, and a couple more (Like seriously, on Tumblr there is an entire list of warnings that might keep you from reading the books) 3. This series, maybe not book 1, but definitely 2 and 3, should have a lot of warnings in them. That's more on book 3 though, so read at your own risk and know what you're getting into. There isn't anything porny, but they do end up doing things. Two of the main characters end up in a 'relationship'. On that note, I've got some warnings to pass out to those of you on the fence about this series. As someone who has owned the physical and kindle books for a good 5 or so years now, I'm going to say this: I've been waiting for the audio versions for so very long that this sorta feels like a dream. |
