In a kingdom ruled by King Ambrose and Queen Elara, a dark curse befalls the royal family when the queen's shape-shifting daughter, Persephone, is cursed to live as a horse instead of being sentenced to death as originally intended. Miraculously saved from her fate by King Ambrose, Persephone grows up as the beloved and cherished horse in the royal stables, hidden from the queen's wrath but known to King Ambrose.
As Persephone's eighteenth birthday approaches, she realizes she has until then to break the curse that binds her. Meanwhile, Prince Percy, unaware of Persephone's true identity and his role in protecting her, becomes intrigued by the mysterious horse and forms a bond with her.
When Persephone finally breaks free from her equine form, the kingdom is thrown into chaos as secrets unravel and long-buried truths come to light. With Persephone's revelation and Prince Percy's discovery of his connection to her, they must navigate treacherous paths and face formidable challenges, including the wrath of the vengeful queen and the prejudices of a society shaped by vanity and cruelty.
As their bond deepens and love blossoms amidst adversity, Persephone and Prince Percy embark on a wild ride, defying fate and forging a new path for themselves and their kingdom. But with time running out and enemies lurking in the shadows, they must summon courage, resilience, and the power of love to overcome the obstacles in their way.
"Wild Ride" is a captivating tale of love, courage, and the transformative power of breaking free from curses and societal norms. Will Persephone and Prince Percy's love endure the trials they face, or will the forces of darkness tear them apart?
Percy thought her life as an illegal arms dealer trying to pay for passage off the plague-ridden planet Argos was hard enough before the crime lord Medusa turned her girlfriend into stone and assigned her the deadly task of stealing the gods' Third Eye. Now she must travel into uncharted space with Medusa's main hitman hovering over her shoulder and dodge bullets from some wacked-wired androids trying to bump her off for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, Persephon -social media prince- is kidnapped from home and is captured in the Underworld where there is not only no interweb connection and no natural lighting for selfies, but also demented demon spirits that haven't been fed demigod soul in over an eon or two, and the ringmaster of this freak-show is the estranged Olympian Hades who seems to be the only creature in the galaxy that hasn't liked or reposted any of Persephon's profile pics. Elsewhere, Helen of Sparta struggles to fit in with her adopted family due to her unnatural feature-shifting abilities that the fam insists on keeping a secret. So she's really putting her antiperspirant to the test when she's set to take the throne as Ruler of Sparta to honor her mother's wishes all while putting her own dreams on pause. Heracles, meanwhile, feels like he's stuck in a high-stakes juggling game with hospital bills to pay, illegal-street racing calling his name, and his crush Megara still hating his guts; and then his luck goes from bad to worse when his android best friend introduces him to Spike, a low-key serial killer and a high-profile android racer with a reputation for never losing, or missing the next target's head who happens to be guess who? Heracles, of course. What none of the demigods know though is that their galaxies are all about to collide, new friends will be kinda made, and backs will definitely be getting stabbed.
