Bestselling author Michael West’s critically-acclaimed dark fantasy series, The Legacy of the Gods, is coming to an end on February 8th with the release of Book Four: Kronos’ Return.
Earl Preston has been fighting dark, seemingly impossible forces, trying to prevent the return of ancient, otherworldly beings — creatures of unfathomable intellect, rumored to have created all life here on Earth. Gods or monsters, these unseen puppet masters continue to pull strings despite a millennia of exile. Now, as the gateway to their alien world nears completion, Earl must locate Hades’ secret base of operations, must destroy this doorway before it can ever be opened.
And time is running out.
Scattered across the globe, allies and foes alike are coming together — Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus, all rallying their forces for one last confrontation. This will be a battle to end all battles, and its outcome will decide the fate of generations yet to come.
In this fourth and final installment of the Legacy of the Gods series, bestselling author Michael West provides answers to all the questions faithful readers have been asking for years, closing his dark, fantastic narrative in spectacular fashion. Prepare for Kronos’ Return!
With amazing cover art and interior illustrations by artist Enggar Adirasa, Kronos’ Return marks West’s first new release from publisher Hydra Publications.
Global Traveler Magazine calls it “a fantastic mix of horror, fantasy and sci-fi,” and says “Kronos’ Return is a fitting conclusion to the story West started with Poseidon’s Children and continued through the next two books in the series. ”
The Legacy of the Gods Book Four: Kronos’ Return is available now for pre-order in digital formats, with paperback and audiobook versions forthcoming. This fourth novel brings to a close one of “the all-time best fantasy book series,*” and marks the end of a thirty year odyssey for author Michael West and faithful readers everywhere.

Seventh Star Press is proud to announce the audio book release of the first novel in the critically-acclaimed Legacy of the Gods series, Poseidon’s Children, by award-winning author Michael West!
Narrated by S. W. Salzman, this new unabridged audio book version brings all the Lovecraftian horror, science-fiction, and dark fantasy elements to life in this incredible opening installment to West’s epic Legacy of the Gods series!
Synopsis of The Legacy of the Gods, Book One: Poseidon’s Children:
Man no longer worships the old gods; forgotten and forsaken, they have become nothing more than myth and legend. But all that is about to change. After the ruins of a vast, ancient civilization are discovered on the ocean floor, Coast Guard officers find a series of derelict ships drifting in the current—high-priced yachts and leaking fishing boats, all ransacked, splattered in blood, their crews missing and presumed dead.
And that’s just the beginning.
Vacationing artist Larry Neuhaus has just witnessed a gruesome shark attack, a young couple torn apart right before his eyes….at least, he thinks it was a shark. And when one of these victims turns out to be the only son of Roger Hays, the most powerful man in the country, things go from bad to worse. Now, to stop the carnage, Larry and his new-found friends must work together to unravel a mystery as old as time, and face an enemy as dark as the ocean depths.
Poseidon’s Children is book one of the Legacy of the Gods series of genre-bending novels from Michael West that also includes Hades’ Disciples and Zeus’ Warriors. And the epic series concludes later this year with the release of West’s grande finale Kronos’ Return.
Michael Smith from Mike’s Film Talk has posted an amazing review of bestselling author Michael West’s new Legacy of the Gods novel, Zeus’ Warriors. Here’s a bit of what he had to say:
“This was a brilliant third installment to this ‘page turner’ series. It is literally impossible not to attempt reading all of the book in one sitting…All of West’s characters connect with the reader…The Legacy of the Gods Book Three: Zeus’ Warriors was well worth the wait. It is still set against an international backdrop and carries the story forward with an admirable momentum…Do not miss this third installment in the series…an addictive treat that will leave readers clamoring for more…Make sure you read this third visit to West’s wonderfully weird world.”

Jess Resides Here just posted a wonderful new 4-Star review of The Legacy of the Gods, Book Two: Hades’ Disciples. Here is a bit of what she had to say:
“This is a seriously good series that I wish more people knew about. Michael has written what is a super fun and entertaining urban fantasy that gets the reader hooked and desperate for more… mythological and fantasy creatures tied to modern day… good guys in a race against time to keep the bad guys from implementing their evil plan… Well written characters that are so fascinating to read about I so want to get my hands on book three. You’ll also have a sex scene that will blow your mind. Highly recommended.”
