The Hymn to Dionysus

Raised in a Greek legion, Phaidros has been taught to follow his commanders orders at all costs.

Raised in a Greek legion, Phaidros has been taught to follow his commanders orders at all costs. But when Phaidros rescues a baby from a fire at Thebess palace, his commanders orders cease to make sense: Phaidros is forced to abandon the blue-eyed boy at a temple, and to keep the babys existence a total secret.

Years later, struggling with panic attacks and flashbacks, Phaidros is enlisted by the Queen to find her son, Thebes young crown prince, who has vanished to escape an arranged marriage. The search leads him to a blue-eyed witch named Dionysus, whose guidance is as wise as the events that surround him are strange. In Dionysuss company, Phaidros witnesses sudden outbursts of riots and unrest, and everywhere Dionysus goes, rumors follow about a new god, one sired by Zeus but lost in a fire.

In The Hymn to Dionysus, bestselling author Natasha Pulley transports us to an ancient empire on the edge of ruin to tell an utterly captivating queer love story about a man needing a god to remind him how to be a human.
