[ time travel x greek mythology retelling with a twist ] Celena has always been a lover of books. As any sane bibliophile does, she wishes to escape into fictional worlds and forget about her monotonous life that's become slightly painful as of recent events. But what Celena doesn't wish for is to get sucked into the realm of Greek Gods in just a turn of a page - literally. She is trapped in an unbelonging world, becomes witness to an illicit affair of Gods and discovers a piece of the future that shatters her. Celena must do everything she can to alter the future and if forging a deal with a God is what it takes, she will take up the challenge. But will she really keep up her end of the deal?
