A Victorian Lady's Guide to Killing Gods and Monsters

"Bah! In the end, who can say
which way is right
and which way is wrong,
as long as one of them
leads to happiness?"
—Gita Trelease, All That Glitters.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS meets VICTORIA in this whimsical historical fantasy about love, feminism, family, and revenge.

***

United Kingdom, 1852. 19-year-old Atalanta "Hattie" Rayburn has seen monsters everywhere since she was a child. When the mysterious man in her dreams appears in real life to warn her about a prophecy, Hattie discovers she is a demigoddess, a daughter of Zeus. The Greek gods are real... along with all the monsters she once heard about.

With Ben, another demigod, she will have to travel across England to get to talk with her father. He is the only one who can give her answers... because the prophecy says she will have to make a decision that will define the fate of the world —but will she save it, or destroy it?

Hi! I'm very happy to write Hattie and Ben's story!!

If you don't know me: Hi, my name is María, and I LOVE historical fiction. My first language is Spanish, so please forgive any grammar mistakes. I'm doing my best!! I'll be happy if you indicate them haha

Also, please forgive any historical inaccuracies. I have researched a LOT for this novella, but I am not a historian (yet). Yes, I've deliberately changed some details of real history so I can highlight the problems of Victorian society, but please excuse me for non-related mistakes.

This is my first story in English, but if you're curious, you can check out my Wattpad profile. I put my whole heart into my stories. My plots go anywhere from suspicious Russian courtesans to 1920s Chilean flappers that love trouble.

Enjoy!
