When a man is named after a god, it only stands to reason that he shows deference to nothing but the Blade Spirits he's bound to, and no one, but the woman who's bound him in her love.

When that same man assumes the responsibility of a child whose survival requires that he adapt, he must move towards a level of existence he's never aspired to.

So he learns things, like considering other people's feelings; smiling... trying to mean it; corralling his darker urges so that his new family can know a happiness he was never allowed.

But a life of domestication doesn't ensure the safety of his expanding family. Not when soulless men want to take what he's fought for, shed blood for, and is willing to die for again and again.

In this latest edition of Mama's Brood, Zeus and Sabrina return to Zeus's beginnings, facing old demons and new enemies while fighting to hold on to a love they never believed existed for people like them. Will they finally get their happy-ever-after? Or will they discover that their moments of happiness are not meant to last a lifetime?
