Genet Stories

Cressida is the daughter of Astraea, goddess of stars and justice. When monsters begin to roam ancient Greece and the Titan Kronos stirs in the depths of time, Cressida's hidden power awakens. A centaur named Chiron brings her to Imítheos Palace, a secret mountain sanctuary where demigods train not through lessons or exams, but through survival and trust. There, Cressida finds an unlikely family: a clever son of Hermes, a gentle musician born of Apollo, a fearless daughter of Ares, a sea-born heir of Poseidon, a joyful child of Dionysus, a brilliant son of Hephaestus, and a quiet daughter of Hades. Together, they learn that strength is not domination, and destiny is not obedience. As Kronos manipulates gods and mortals alike twisting prophecy, time, and fear Cressida is forced to confront a terrible truth: the gods' idea of justice is flawed. To save the world, she must challenge divine authority itself. Caught between the stars that created her and the humanity that raised her, Cressida must decide what kind of justice she believes in and whether a girl born from the sky can choose her own path.
