After being stood up and then dumped via voice note, Kenna Fernsby is convinced that there was never a tale of more woe. Fortunately, she's wrong. Unfortunately, a temperamental goddess hears her thoughts.The next morning, Kenna wakes up in fair Verona... or rather, a theatre in late 16th century England where William Shakespeare is writing the play 'Romeo and Juliet' while his actors work their onstage magic. It's far from the worst thing that could happen to a Shakespeare fan who has always felt more at home in the past than the present, but it's not long before Kenna's journey back in time takes an unexpected turn. Voices in a dark room whisper of a plot against Shakespeare and one of his greatest plays. Romeo Montague - known offstage as Luke Mereworth - throws a spanner in the works when he decides that Kenna needs his help to solve the mystery. Their partnership soon becomes something more than spying from the shadows and learning lines by twilight. With their piecing together of the conspiracy comes the healing of Kenna's heart. But the script thieves are faster.When they close in, Kenna is forced to choose between the life she has fallen in love with - one that doesn't truly belong to her - and the fate of the play she loves as much.

The King of Olympus asks her to prove her loyalty with one task: discover whether Melinoë, the daughter of Hades and Persephone, is conspiring against him after her exile from the Underworld. But as she and the goddess of ghosts grow close, Hedone must choose whether to follow her heart or choose what's safest.
ONIA: Queen Harmonia is the daughter of an affair between Ares and Aphrodite, which led to a jealous Hephaestus crafting a serpent necklace for her wedding that has doomed her and literally embeds itself in her skin. As she tries to crawl out of the melancholy or "madness" she's used to, her husband announces that Zeus has granted help for the cursed gift: Circe, the cunning witch. As Onia receives Circe's help and tutelage, she develops feelings that threaten the way things must be, lest the world devolve into war and suffering because of the Olympians' anger. 18+ with content warnings inside.
