Bound by Flame and Sea

Carter has spent 18 years being called a fatherless mongrel. To save his mother and the girl he loves, he dares to join the Storm Knight trials. Humiliated, beaten, and exposed as "powerless," his own uncle sentences him to death by fire. As the flames rise and all hope fades, the sea begins to boil. A golden chariot descends from the heavens.

Poseidon, the King of the Ocean, declares to the trembling kingdom: “He is my blood. And you will pay for every tear he shed.”
