In a sleepy village far from the splendour of Olympus, a teenage boy named Alexias Makris wakes up one morning, prepared for another day of hard labour in the fields, not knowing that this day would change not just the course of his destiny, but of the destinies of everyone inhabiting Alexias' broken world.
Whisked away from his home to magnificent Olympus, home of the gods, Alexias becomes a servant, but there he is swept away into a word of political machinations and total upheaval in the world of the gods.
Zeus, an anchor of stability and the implacable leader of the gods has disappeared.
With every god clambering over one another to get the top chair, the people are ignored, and, for the first time since the distant past, the gods' power is threatened,
For when Kings clash, all of the land feels the tremours.

The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete

Echidna's Beasts
The gods call her Deichlana. Meaning, "The dread of Olympus", but Laia Galanis prefers not to think about that. For years, it was easy enough to ignore the monsters lurking in alleyways-or the fact that someone tried to kill her every few months. Then Zagreus, a brutally charming assassin with ties to the Underworld, arrives with orders to drag her into a brewing war between Olympus and the Underworld. And suddenly, ignoring things becomes impossible. Because Laia is no mortal. She is the last daughter of Typhon and Echidna-primordial monsters powerful enough to threaten the gods themselves. Favored granddaughter of Gaia, the family matriarch who has her heart set on regicide or whatever it takes to remove Zeus and company from power. Now Olympus wants her dead, the Underworld wants to use her as a weapon, and ancient creatures she once believed existed only in myths are affectionately calling her "little sister". Worst of all? Laia is beginning to realize why the gods were right to fear her in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎻🐾Updates Wed & Fri🐾🎻
The God & The Shadow
"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness. Lore, previously known as Hades, rarely ever visited the mortal realm. As the gods get involved in a war against the rebellious uprising amongst the dark angels, he must work together with a group of immortals, a ruthless and serpentine assassin being one of them.

Forced into a team unit as punishment for her insolent behavior, she must work with the god she grew to admire and learned to hate. Alliances built on lies and hatred are inevitable to fall.
