Half of you, Vulcan!

The three women in his life—his daughter, his maid, and his lover—each demand a piece of him. But how do you split a man in half three ways?

* * *

Athena swore to her father Zeus that Vulcan, a mortal man, surpasses every god the king ever conceived for her. Bound by her word and unwilling to face her father's shame, she refuses to yield. She will fight for the one she loves, no matter the cost.

The Nymph has spent her existence enslaved to Athena's will. Now, claiming Vulcan represents her only path to freedom—her ultimate rebellion and reclamation of power.

Prium abandoned everything she owned and everyone she knew in her village for Vulcan. Returning empty-handed is impossible. She cannot walk away.

And Vulcan? He holds them all equally dear, unable—or unwilling—to choose.
