About the Book

Began with Gia’s Folly, The Scales of Balance is the conclusion that is a fast paced motion through the final five and a half years of the “Game of the Gods”!

The six Champions of the followers of good, race into a meeting with Champion of evil, and his many spawn of Hell that he calls upon. All the while, The Dark Lord of evil, Kutulu Lucifer, awaits, manipulates, and inspires his minions into the many confrontations with the entire world.

Gia, the all mother, of course has her own stake in this game. She is the originating creator of all the gods and the inspiration for the game, itself.

In the end, only one stands facing the Dark Lord. Is that enough? Is there a way that a mortal born human can possibly take on the most powerful of the demi-gods? Is Kutulu Lucifer really concerned with such minor beings, or is he looking beyond?

Questions are answered, more are created, as the Champions bring themselves together, creating families, friends, and lovers out of the mortals of the world.
