Now released for the first time as a standalone e-story, House of the Rising Son, previously published in the Dark Bites story collection from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Sherrilyn Kenyon.

The eldest son in a family of three boys, Aricles had no desire to be a soldier, even though his fighting skills were among the best in the world. He was more than content on his small Atlantean farm, living a quiet, uneventful life. But when his brother is determined to don a soldier’s uniform, Aricles joins him with a promise to their father to bring his brother home in one piece. What he never counts on is how much their new lives will forever change them, or what the risk of a forbidden love will ultimately cost him.

Love the story, it leaves a wonderful lead in to Styxx. I still hate Apollo, someday I do hope that he breaks down and repents. BUT I doubt he ever will.

Good short story

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016

Well written and short. It gives a little more history of the couple. So if you read the Styxx story best to buy this book with it to complete the story on Styxx and Bathany.

Aricles and Bathymaas and the House of the Rising Son

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

House of the Rising Son is a short back story to Styxx. Before Styxx and Bethany, there was Aricles and Bathymaas. This short story was also in the anthology Dark Bites. Aricles is a simple farmer, wanting only to work the land and provide for his father and two brothers in ancient times; he wishes to stay out of the wars between the gods and their pantheons. The goddess Bathymaas and her general arrive at the farm looking for Aricles brother to offer him as spot in her personal guard but mistake Aricles for his twin. When the offer is made for both, they go to war; Aricles goes to protect his brothers back. Bathymaas’ guard soon becomes invincible and in doing so anger the other gods; Aricles in particular angers Apollo and Apollo wants revenge.

Sad but good

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Good back story, but sad. I love this series and always look forward to a new book set in this world. Sherrilyn is hands down my very favorite author. I read so, so many books and I still look forward to any book she publishes. You knew this story was going to be sad going in but I'm glad I read it still because it gives you insight into the characters. Good read.

I'll admit, I haven't read one of her books in a long time . They used to be among my favorites. I lost interest along the way, her writing change things got redundant , and I developed other interests . This book was amazing , and has rekindled some of what I used to love about her books . I had introduced my son to the Chronicles of Nick , perhaps it's time for me to go back and enjoy the books that started it all . I'm so glad I read this book . What an amazing love story
