When Freya Inuhakka, a burn survivor, receives a pear enchanted to give her either beauty, wisdom, or power, she chooses her fate by throwing it away. But the Greek Gods refuse to leave her until she makes her choice. ♫~~~♫ Freakish and weird are words describing Freya Inuhakka. This label isn't for her flaming red hair, nor green eyes, countless freckles, or biracial heritage. It's the burnt part of her face that sets her apart. The endless taunts from bullies have hardened her heart. However, her life turns upside-down when she receives the Golden Pear. All she needs to do is to give it to one of three handsome guys to receive a great bargain in return - endless knowledge, everlasting beauty, or unmatched strength. Any of those at her fingertips. But not every gift brings happiness. ♫~~~♫ Cover by: roguehopes Featured at: Young Adult (YA) Wattpad account - Clueless Promoted by: @Thestardustcommunity Review by: 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 & Hradaya ♫~~~~~~~~~~~~~♫ ---WARNING-- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad.com, you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

The Belles Lettres Awards "Absolutely mind blowing! The plot is just as well executed as it seems to have been planned, though only the author can really know that. It truly is a science-fiction adventure!" The Mono Awards "I absolutely love the banter between Auberon and the Seer. And I love the concept. It's very well thought out and executed even better than I thought it could have. Something I would definitely recommend to others. Love it. Absolutely love it." The Sakura Awards "The very first word, emotional mapping had drawn me in from the very start. The plot was very intriguing and it was so mysterious from the start. It was very enjoyable."
