The Slaughter of Gods — a dark mythological romantasy of reincarnation, vengeance, and a love the gods never saw coming. Coming June 2027.
The author behind the makers
Hi, I'm Crys.
I write dark mythological romantasy for readers who want their gods morally gray, their love interests dangerous, and their heroines a little unhinged. If you've ever finished a book and immediately needed to talk about it with someone, we're going to get along.
The Slaughter of Gods is my debut — the first half of the Lies of the Makers duet, born from a love of Greek mythology, enemies-to-lovers tension, and stories where the line between hero and villain is mostly theoretical. I'm building this world one reveal at a time, and I'd love for you to be here for it.
Come for the gods. Stay for the chaos they cause.

Early reader reactions
Reader reviews of
The Slaughter of Gods
"A morally gray god, a hunter who shouldn't fall for him, and a betrayal that changes everything. I could not put this down."
"The enemies-to-lovers tension is suffocating in the best way. I forgot to breathe during the throne room scene."
"This is what happens when Greek mythology gets dark, bloody, and devastatingly romantic. I need book two now."
"The world-building alone is worth the read, but that ending? I am not okay. Pre-ordering the sequel immediately."
