Gorgon Born

Thu, 04 May 2023 08:26:41 +0300

To avenge my mother, I change my fate.

To alter the realm, I bargain with the fates themselves.

Gorgons were once legendary for snake hair and Medusa's stone-turning gaze. Yet years after my mother Medusa's murder, we're no better than other island dwellers—isolated, forgotten, and insignificant.

So when a benevolent night goddess reveals the truth of who my father is and what he's done? I leave behind all I know. Anything to seek vengeance against those who did my mother harm: god-king Zeus and his brother Poseidon.

To change my fate, I journey to the city of the gods to assassinate Zeus. To truly get revenge, I'll have to twist not just the truth, but the plan laid out by none other than Nyx. And with the god of death living in my shadow, snarking at me even as he dredges up emotions I thought long-gone, I might succeed.

But when prisoners are brought into the palace, I break the goddess-queen's rules. Anything to learn more of the outside world I'm kept away from. Yet breaking the rules comes at a price: I'm exiled from the court I called home and the mother I don't know how to live without. A mother who lied about everything—including the details of who I am and who birthed me.

To survive, I band together with a handsome demigod—Alexius, the latest blacksmith to seal a collar around my neck. He's a mess of contradictions—arrogant yet modest, immovable yet...

Siren Daughter

A determined siren. A journey for immortality.

A bargain shaking the realms apart.

Seventeen-year-old Agathe is a siren, a creature once known for their enthralling songs. But her ancestors' exile locks her and her family deep beneath the Akri Sea. She resigns herself to an unremarkable life with only her beloved mother for company.

Yet when everything she holds dear is stripped away during a bitter winter, she embarks on a deadly quest. One for the most precious gift in all the realms: immortality.

Bargain upon bargain, she travels across the realms to formidable god-king Zeus and his gilded palace. In the stark corridors and fracturing court, death and loss, friendship and love wait around each turn. But when betrayal renders a bargain with Zeus fruitless, Agathe must choose: her family or herself.

One last chance to bargain with Zeus.

But every bargain has a...
