The penultimate novella in the Omega series. This follows the rich dude Cleon from the previous novella from Niko's perspective. This follows Cleon after his father's murder. We learn that is the first born and he expects to take his father's place and gain his inheritance by birthright. He and his siblings feared their father because he was a tyrant at home but loved by the citizens because he was a two face asshole.
The supreme magistrate visits Cleon and he is expecting to be given his fathers title and the supreme magistrate shoots him down. Telling him that he knows that Cleon had his father killed and that he has the evidence of Niko doing the job sloppily and that actually Cleon did the magistrate a favor by killing him because no one could actually stand him.
The supreme magistrate gives Cleon a lowly position and sends him upstate. He leaves with his servants and when he is at his home, his only friend and now turned enemy has shown up with a priest to ask for safety and a place to hide so they can pray in peace and not fear repurcussions. Herakles is the name of the person who was once a friend to Cleon but we learn of his past and I felt so sorry for him and disgust at Cleon. Cleon was kind of a Dr Frankenstein and did experiments and surgeries on Herakles to make him the strongest and biggest fighter.
This once again gave me a boost in interest for the next and last novella and I am hoping to get to the main novel in January.
