Hybris was named for the greek goddess of rebellion and insolence; as such, when she graduates high school, she leaves as a highly intelligent reject with a scholarship to an ivy league college and the disapproval of her parents and spoiled younger sister. The story begins with her graduation day, when she bids goodbye to everything she knows in favor of the harsh, adult world that awaits her beyond the prison she's been at for so long.
The only problem is this creepy house in the woods that she stumbles across when she leaves graduation early, diploma secured and her worries expounding. When the darkness settles in and she has no choice but to stay there to weather out the night, she wonders what might be lurking in the house: the nothingness of a century passed or something else...?

Displaced
For centuries Persephone lived in the Underworld with Hades. She finally escaped but it caused the displacement of Greek Gods and Goddesses to Earth with no memory of their true identities. After much debate, modern day college junior, Alba Sommer, decides to join a sorority at Olympus University in IL. At first it seems Alba is being unfairly hazed. If she wants to make Kappa Zeta, she has to do whatever KZ president, Miranda Belle, tells her to. But the further Alba progresses into rushing, it becomes evident that a lot more is going on. Alba's true identity of Psyche, goddess of the soul, has ancient history with Miranda's true identity of Aphrodite. The displaced Gods begin to play out their ancient pasts as history repeats itself. Caught up in century old love triangles and disagreements, the displaced are clueless that Hades and his minions are fast on the trail to finding them in his search to recapture his beloved Persephone. Knowing these Gods are vulnerable not knowing their true identities, Hades realizes he could steal their souls to the Underworld and wage a battle with Zeus for dominion over Earth. If the displaced don't discover their true identities, they will be helpless. ******************************************* For those that don't know --- on Wattpad votes mean a lot!
