Origin of Pietas - Bringer of Chaos, #1

Enemies by birth. Allies by necessity. Brothers by choice. Traitors stripped immortal king Pietas of everything he fought for and exiled him on a deserted planet. His only hope of finding his people lies with the human who imprisoned him. That doesn't mean Pietas will humiliate himself by asking for help. Enough is enough. He has already died a thousand times to save them. How much more can he sacrifice?But when his actual survival depends on the one thing he swears does not exist-the honor of a human-he's faced with a startling question.
One that makes him rethink his life's mission. What if the enemy he hates is the salvation he needs? Nominee in Hugh Howey's 2022 Self-Published Science Fiction Competition
