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.

Furious
The gods are dying and and only Hades knows why. There is nothing quite as frustrating as being the last person to know what's going on. Most days it seems like the whole world knows something Autumn doesn't-the whole Underworld, anyway. For 18 year-old Autumn, the biggest obstacles in her foreseeable future are paying for college and staying out of trouble. She doesn't need gods of half-forgotten myths swooping in to alter her course-but Hector, the second incarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, has never been one to sit back and watch the world burn. Enter Autumn, unknowing, untrained, unwilling Fury: the perfect secret weapon in a secret war of the gods. Hector and Autumn strike a bargain but the more Autumn gets to know the inhabitants of the Underworld, the further she gets from her all-too-human problems. Who can think about homework or consequences when all of the gods are dying? With the help-or the hindrance-of the Fates, Autumn must train with Harpies, Furies, and other creatures formerly of myth to win an impending war for Hector, restore the ambrosia to Olympus, and be home in time for graduation. All in a Tuesday's work.Complete
