ABOUT THE BOOK
Every time someone knocked me down, I wiped the blood off my heart and climbed to my feet, ready to go again.
Aphrodite has risen to become Olympus’ golden girl, a famous fashionista and influencer. It’s not enough. She longs for real power, to be indebted to no one and nothing.
Those wishes are burned to ash the night a stranger comes to the Paris agora and strikes a deal with Zeus that steals away her future and her freedom.
Raised by monsters far from the poisonous politics of their hidden world, Hephaestus is seeking revenge. He doesn’t expect to be forced into a hasty marriage as part of a twisted deal. For his plan to succeed, he needs his match with the Goddess of Love to actually work.
Zeus will do anything to see him fail. And backed into a corner with no way out, the goddess has plans of her own, and no intention of letting these two men decide her fate…
A modern Greek mythology retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus.
