Lach has spent the last few thousand years counting only on himself. What he needed, he took. What he wanted, he won with charm. All except a god he turned his back on an age ago, when he had a different name and didn’t know what he was giving up.


Thanatos, god of merciful death, is one of the gentlest gods in the pantheon—easing the transition between life and death for billions of mortals. But he has faced eternity alone. After breaking his heart on the sharp words of a fisherman’s son, he hasn’t been able to connect with anyone.


Now, Lach is crashing back into Thanatos’s life, dragging him into an adventure that could save the world . . . or kill them both.


PATRON OF MERCY IS THE THIRD BOOK IN A SERIES, BUT CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE NOVEL.


My Two Pennies' Worth

Gods and myths are my new favourite things in gay romance. And this series is one of my favourites. This is book 3 but there is no real requirement  to read them in order apart from missing out on a couple of excellent stories and meeting some of the side characters in  their own books. (Also I think Hermes character development will be important going into the next series.)

Borrowing from myths and legends and making it work in the 21st century is effortlessly done here.

This is a fun story with a solid and believable second chance romance, despite said romance being thousands of years in the making and between a titan and an immortal human. 
They fit together so beautifully, this snarky, light fingered immortal and the ever gentle god of Death.

The adventure part jogged along nicely while we focused on the reconnection but flared into life at the end. 

Come for the search of Cronas' scythe, stay for the epic romance.

I want Hermes story so bad now. The man has serious daddy issues. 



Sam Burns wrote her first fantasy epic with her best friend when she was ten. Like almost any epic fiction written by a ten year old, it was awful. She likes to think she’s improved since then, if only because she has better handwriting now.

If she’s not writing, she’s almost certainly either reading or lost down a Wikipedia rabbit hole while pretending to research for a novel.






W.M. Fawkes is an author of LGBTQ+ urban fantasy and paranormal romance. With coauthor Sam Burns, she writes feisty Greek gods, men, and monsters in the Lords of the Underworld series. She lives with her partner in a house owned by three halloween-hued felines that dabble regularly in shadow walking.
