The Resin Chronicles - Born of the Gods - Origins Book One

Born of the Gods is a brutal fantasy adventure about a woman who should have died, a world ruled by corrupt gods, and the dangerous power of surviving anyway.

When Maethon destroys her goddess and burns her city to ash, Arleia wakes to find that death didn’t take her. Cursed with impossible healing and growing strength, she’s dragged from one ordeal to the next: slaver carts, hidden realms, gladiator pits, and the decadent strongholds of gods who treat their followers like disposable property. With only a sharp-tongued cat companion named Jes at her side, Arleia has to fight, endure, and question everything she was taught before the world decides what to do with her.

The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: the gods are not noble protectors. They are power-hungry, cruel, and very much capable of betrayal. And if Arleia wants to survive long enough to learn why she was spared, she’ll have to discover what her curse really is — and whether the thing inside her is a blessing, a weapon, or something far worse.
