Nike, created to be the killer of the Olympians, is pushed by fate to help the gods win the Titanomachy as a traitor. After the war, Nike is overlooked as a minor goddess and almost completely disregarded despite her critical efforts that put the Olympians upon their thrones, leaving the goddess of victory to decide if her purpose in creation is truly her destiny. A struggle between environment, morals and addiction, To Kill A God explains how to do exactly that: kill a god.

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost.
Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles
*
Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm.
He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away.
Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland.
Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land.
As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse.
Only she may have the power to change her world for the better.
