Deception: 3 (Return of the Gods)

The powerful King of Atlantis, beloved by his warrior followers, has been kidnapped. Every sign points to the God of War as the culprit and heavenly outrage is the result. As East prepares to meet West in a war of the pantheons, Crystal, wife of the God of War and newly-ascended goddess, finds herself in the surprising role of lead investigator. Unlikely allies come to her aid as she searches to find the king--and his real abductor--before battle is joined by the most powerful forces in the universe.

In Volume 3 of the Return of the Gods trilogy, follow Crystal's attempts to clear her husband's name before it's too late.

A Mississippi native, TOSK (Stephen H. King) was moved in high school entirely against his will from the small town of Corinth to a large city he ended up loving in southern California. After, a series of mostly unexplainable decisions led him through a strange sequence of events beginning at the United States Military Academy, where he double-majored in physics and electrical engineering, through a fairly short career as an Infantry officer and then an electronics technician, a product engineer, a carpenter's helper, and an elementary school janitor, to ultimately finding himself on the faculty of a small college in Anchorage, Alaska. During those years, he learned that reading science fiction and fantasy allowed him to escape the strangeness into the more understandable worlds crafted by Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and many other great writers. As time went on he began to mold his own worlds. Stephen now lives in Midlothian, Virginia, with his wife, daughter, and two white Chihuahuas that enjoy morphing from Therapuppies into miniature dragons at the sound of food being opened. Stephen is currently working on the next book in the Goddess series when he's not serving the students of a small college in Richmond, Virginia, as their Dean.
