Of Godlike Men

Bender, a Fallen One finds himself in love with a mortal, Georgeanne Quade and produces a son, named Griffin. All three have extraordinary power: bending others to their will and altering the weather. But for Griffin, this power is a curse. Too often he has used it and results turned out badly. When he falls in love with Bathe Sibbings, he tries hard to become a better man and ignore his urge to use the 'gift'.
Bithia falls quickly for Griffin, but her parents will not tolerate this liaison. Over the years they have enjoyed gambling and extravagance, and now they are in financial straits. They even lost the deed to their plantation home. In order to regain ownership, they expect her to live with the Walkinshaw's, a wealthy, childless couple in New York City. This move means more than providing companionship. Bithia is appalled by her parents expectations and refuses, but Bender is on the side, coercing her to do the unthinkable.
Bender is never far away. His one desire is to be mortal, and share a physical life with Georgeanne. Seen only by she and Griffin, he does everything to instigate his son's wrath. He believes Griffin can make him mortal, and the only way is to incite his wrath, toy with his emotions and bring that power to a massive surge.
