Psyche Miller has been titled "The Most Beautiful Women in the World!" While her mother/agent is thrilled and happy about this title boosting the modeling career they've worked on since she was three, Psyche can't help but feel empty and numb. She's been an actress and model all her young life.
The fans, the cameras, the no room to grow, she hates it all. She never wanted this life, yet she had no choice.
She is tired of this life and dreams of going to school, to live an exciting life without crowds following her.
Aphrodite has come down from Mount Olympus, wanting the humans to worship her again just like the old days. She hosts her talk show "Women from Venus", has her own makeup line, fashion line, and does so much for charity (only if they're cameras around).
When Aphrodite hears the news of Psyche being the most beautiful, she decides to take matter into her own hands and sends Eros, her son, to kill her.
Never disobeying his mother, he agrees to. However, when he sees Psyche for the first time with his own eyes, he decides to protect her instead.

Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
