Three women. Three divinities hidden behind mortal faces. Each carries a burden older than time itself-loneliness, wisdom, and untamed freedom.
Bound not by temples or thrones but by the quiet ache of being unseen, they find unexpected companionship in mortals who answer when no one else will.
The Maidens is a collection of sapphic short stories retelling the lives of forgotten goddesses, reimagined through love, longing, and the quiet defiance of being chosen.

Inbox:you
Two strangers. One blog. One writes in the dark, never knowing who reads. The other reads in silence, never saying who she is. Mia Michels is a journalism student who hides behind a fake name, spilling her thoughts like confessions at 3 a.m. Her posts are raw, chaotic, painfully real. What she doesn't know? One of her readers is Athena Sterling-the vanished star the world hasn't stopped missing, and a woman who's forgotten how to be seen. What starts as a quiet, anonymous exchange becomes something more: A safe place. A mirror. A slow-blooming intimacy neither expected. And maybe, a reason to come back to the world. Because sometimes, the right person finds you -just when you've stopped believing they exist.

But when a cursed pendant binds itself to her bloodline, she inherits the impossible title of Guardian; protector of a power the shadows would kill to claim. The only person keeping her steady is Thalia, the warrior who sees past Callista's fear and makes her feel something dangerously close to love. Together, they believe they can face whatever nightmare the darkness unleashes. Until Artemis appears. Not the benevolent goddess of legend, but a figure of silver fire and living shadow an intoxicating, merciless, and utterly obsessed with Callista. The goddess offers her protection... but at a devastating cost: her loyalty, her freedom, her heart. Torn between a love that anchors her and a power that consumes her, Callista is forced into a choice no mortal should face: Save Thalia and surrender herself to Artemis' claim... or resist, and watch the world and the woman she loves burn. In a realm where desire is a weapon and devotion can be deadly, Callista must decide if she's willing to risk everything for love... or embrace the darkness that has already chosen her.Complete
