Released July 14, 2026

What if the people running the world were gods?

Not wise gods. Definitely not noble gods.

Just powerful ones.

Jaden Pierce has spent his entire life trying to escape the limits of Davis Court. Then a family secret cracks open the world he thought he knew: the Greek gods are real. And they are still ruling.

The story

Drawn into a hidden society of immortals and divine politics, Jaden discovers that Olympus is less a paradise than an empire. One built on privilege, power, and the stories those at the top tell to justify keeping both.

But power has a way of changing people. The closer Jaden gets to the truth of who he is, the more dangerous that truth becomes.

The Art of Killing Gods is a literary fantasy about identity, family, ambition, belonging, and the cost of power.

Art Deco-style circular illustration featuring two mythological figures—one male and one female—facing opposite directions. The woman, wearing a helmet with laurel leaves, appears at the top left, while the man, with a laurel crown and flowing beard, appears at the bottom right. They are separated by a jagged lightning bolt. The background features deep green and gold tones with symmetrical patterns and laurel leaves. Across the center, the title “Mythic Matters” is written in ornate gold lettering with stylized wings on either side.
