THE WORLD OF RETRIBUTION
The Awakened Series
Some debts do not die.
The gods can return a life. That does not mean they own it.
Enter a world of divine power, resurrection, and loyalties strained by what the gods demand.
A World Shaped by Gods
The gods are part of this world’s living reality. Their power reaches into mortal lives—and sometimes beyond death.
For those caught in their affairs, devotion, duty, and personal choice can pull in different directions. Serving a god does not make loyalty simple.
Enter the Lore
Meet the gods, discover the Guardians, and explore what happens when divine power reaches beyond death.
Begin with the world’s foundations. Deeper revelations remain behind spoiler gates.
The Divine
Meet Cosmo, Amphitrite, Daemon, Klaasr, and Anastashia. Discover their domains and their place within the Awakened pantheon.
Amphitrite
Goddess of Water
Warm and quick to laugh, Amphitrite is Daemon’s wife and fiercely protective of her husband and children.
Daemon
God of Death
Stern, dry-humored, and impatient with foolishness, Daemon is fiercely protective of his family. He is Amphitrite’s husband and Cosmo and Madon’s brother.
Klaasr
God of War
Klaasr is Alex’s father. Their relationship is strained by grief and anger, making any reunion far more complicated than a meeting between a god and a Guardian.
Anastashia
Goddess of Resurrection
Quiet and independent, Anastashia rarely lets others see what her strength costs her. She is more at ease with Seth and Daemon. With Daemon, she lets her weariness show without surrendering her independence.
The Guardians
Sworn to the gods. Loyalty is another matter.
Becoming a Guardian demands physical trials and a divine artifact. What follows is service to a god—and the choices that come with it.
Meet AlexDeath & Resurrection
A return from death is rare—and costly.
Anastashia’s power makes resurrection possible, but each return takes a toll on her. The longer someone has been dead, the greater the cost.
For the person brought back, a second life raises another question: whose choice was it?
The People
Divine power reaches into lives already full of grief, affection, ambition, and unfinished business.
Meet Alex, Cassie, and Laryn—the people at the heart of Retribution.
