Penelope has had her life pre-determined before she could even talk. Rescued by the goddess Artemis at the age of four, she swears allegiance to her forever as a priestess. She, of course, needing training, is housed by the great Icarus of Cytherea and befriends a handmaid named Eurycleia and her mentor, Priestess Adella.
And she is content with her life.
At least until Prince Odysseus of Ithaca comes in search of a bride. And Odysseus has his eyes set on her.
Now stuck between her heart and her duty, Penelope has no idea what to do.
Will she ever figure it out?

A Rule That Never Breaks
Ever since Paige was little, she's been able to see people's sorrow like a cloud hanging over their heads. Now it's coming in pretty handy in her job. Which is saving the world, obviously. Paige has never really belonged. Growing up in the foster system in Chicago would have been hard enough without seeing everyone's pain like a never-ending storm. It was better to be alone than to deal with that. But Ari, a student in her Classics class, is different. And when the roof of their classroom inexplicably comes crashing down, he tells her why. They're both distant descendants of the Greek gods. And the gods are angry. After millennia of being ignored and relegated to history books and Disney movies, the gods of Mount Olympus are wreaking havoc on earth as punishment for man's hubris. Ari and Paige travel to the mystical lands of Olympus to try the only thing you really can't do. Kill the gods.Complete
