The Slave Boy Is Poseidon’s Hidden Heir

A scorned slave unlocks oceanic godhood during a death trial.

Arcus endures bondage and the venomous hatred of his future mother-in-law, trapped in a forced engagement that treats him as property. Seeking any path to agency, he volunteers for a brutal warrior trial where nobles expect him to die. Instead, his first blow summons primordial oceanic force, exposing him as the long-lost scion of Poseidon and upending every assumption about his worth.
