War of the Nymphs
For centuries, the Nymphs-spirit guardians of forests, rivers, and mountains-lived unseen among mortals, guiding growth, healing wounds, and protecting sacred lands. But now, the world has changed. Forests burn for profit. Rivers run black with poison. Mountains are torn apart for stone and oil. When a sacred grove is destroyed to build a colossal kingdom fortress, the Dryads declare war. Their wrath awakens the long-forgotten Elder Nymph Queens, primal beings as old as Gaia herself. Nature begins to fight back-trees uproot themselves like warriors, rivers rise like serpents, storms roar with vengeance. Caught in the middle of this divine uprising are three legendary heroes reborn: Heracles, Perseus, and Achilles

After six years, the marriage went downhill without a shred of evidence that it was ever saved. This made your mother teach you to treat men with caution, and she showed you to her friends to coach you to be more affectionate and caring, rather than take after your father, who cheated on her. One day, while Hera was angry, she noticed a blessing she was given was being miss treated and the wife let the marriage fail. Out of petty anger, she went down there and took the blessing she gave back... You.

Alliances form and break as the creatures and beings long subordinated by human development rise to reclaim power and protect their own. Mia is not only torn personally, but also morally.

The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
