Chains shatter as dormant godhood erupts in the arena.
Arcus suffers daily contempt as a slave bound to a noble house that loathes him, especially the bride's mother who treats him like filth. Aristocrats mock his status and deny him any agency. Desperate for a scrap of respect, he volunteers for a lethal warrior trial where few survive. When the contest begins, primordial oceanic energy explodes from within him, revealing his true identity as Poseidon's missing heir and upending every assumption the nobility held about the boy in chains.
