The Golden Fool Novel

Apollo, once a radiant god of Olympus, has been cast down to earth as punishment for sharing a forbidden prophecy with mortals. Stripped of his divinity, power, and identity, he awakens as a wounded, freezing stranger struggling to navigate mortal existence while clinging to the essence of what he once was. The mortal realm he descends into is far from the world he remembers. Decay spreads through cities, ancient forces are awakening, and fate's carefully woven design is coming undone in ways that defy natural order. In the shadows, something unprecedented is rising—something beyond even divine foresight. Apollo's exile is meant to last ten years. His goal is simple: survive. Yet mere survival offers no promise of tranquility. And for one who has tasted ultimate power, forgetting its pull may prove impossible. The question is not whether he can endure his sentence, but what he will become by its end.
