Offering deeper insights into the critically acclaimed God of War(R)
franchise, this novel returns us to the dark world of ancient Greek
mythology explored in the heart-pounding action of God of War I, the
bestselling video game. A brutal warrior, Kratos is a slave to the gods
of Olympus. Plagued by the nightmares of his past and yearning for
freedom, the Ghost of Sparta would do anything to be free of his debt to
the gods. He is on the verge of losing all hope when the gods give him
one last task to end his servitude.
He must destroy Ares, the god of war.
But what chance does a mere mortal have against a god? Armed with the
deadly chained Blades of Chaos, guided by the goddess Athena, and driven
by his own insatiable thirst for vengeance, Kratos seeks the only relic
powerful enough to slay Ares . . . a quest that will take him deep into
the mysterious temple borne by the Titan Cronos!
From the black depths of Hades to the war-torn city of Athens to the
lost desert beyond, God of War sheds a brutal new light on the
bestselling video game and on the legend of Kratos.
