Gods and Gambling just shouldn't mix

A late-night swim ends in a drunken bet that puts the gods' future in jeopardy. Zeus does his best to fix the mess his children have made but his power is threatened by the Fae Court and bureaucracy. Charon tries to help but gets caught in the fallout - just as he discovers a sense of independence and fishing. Does the outcome of this bet really rely on the decisions of one mortal emperor, or can the gods swing the rules to their advantage? The Bet is a whimsical, mythology-based fiction and the prequel to Charon Unguarded.
