Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Apollo was never only the god of sunlight.

He was music and prophecy, healing and plague, beauty and punishment, truth and obsession. Mortals carved him in marble and crowned him in gold, but behind the radiant face was a god shaped by violence, desire, grief, and the terrible burden of seeing what others could not.

Born on Delos to a hunted mother, Apollo rises from rejection into divine power. He kills the serpent Python and claims Delphi, only to discover that prophecy does not obey even the god who speaks it. Kings, warriors, mothers, and desperate souls come seeking answers, but Apollo learns that seeing the future is not the same as saving anyone from it.

Through Cassandra, he turns truth into a curse. Through Daphne, he mistakes desire for love. Through Marsyas, he discovers that beauty can become cruel. Through Hyacinthus, Phaethon, and Asclepius, he learns that even the brightest god cannot protect everyone he loves.

Told in Apollo's own voice, Through the Eyes of Gods: Apollo - The Light That Burns is a mythological journey through glory, guilt, music, plague, prophecy, and immortal regret. This is not the gentle god remembered in marble. This is Apollo as he truly was: radiant, wounded, dangerous, and honest enough to know that the light which guides can also burn.

For readers who enjoy Greek mythology, tragic gods, first-person mythic retellings, and powerful stories of divine beauty shadowed by consequence.
