A princess forged in silence. A mark that binds her fate. A journey that will change everything.
Thaleia has always lived in the shadows of Athens, mocked by her sisters, silenced by her parents, and haunted by a sigil burned into her skin since childhood. But the world beyond the palace walls calls to her, carrying whispers of danger, destiny, and secrets no one will answer.
With a winged beast at her side and a heart untested by love, she steps into a path that leads her across enemy lines and into mysteries as perilous as they are alluring. What she discovers could shatter empires or bind her to someone she should never trust.
In a land divided by war and bound by ancient grudges, Thaleia must decide who she is meant to be: the obedient daughter of Athens... or the Silent Talon.

The oath between Gods
Title: The Oath Between Gods Summary: After the Trojan War, the weary and battle-worn Odysseus stumbles upon a forgotten island-home to Medeia, the feared Goddess of Justified Vengeance, and War's Unseen Toll. Known for her ruthless retribution against oathbreakers and oppressors, Medeia has long been an outsider among the Olympians, feared and respected in equal measure. However, she is not alone. Ares, the God of War, has sought her out, drawn by an unspoken bond neither of them have dared to acknowledge. When Odysseus carelessly questions the nature of their relationship, it forces Medeia and Ares to confront what has long gone unsaid between them. But words are not enough. Medeia, ever the goddess of oaths and retribution, demands something stronger-an unbreakable vow. In a temple heavy with divine history, Ares swears a sacred oath to fight beside her, binding himself to her cause in ways that even he does not yet fully understand. As the mark of their pact burns into his skin, Olympus stirs with unease. The Goddess of Vengeance and the God of War, standing united? It is a bond that could shift the balance of power among the gods. A bond that could bring justice to the unjust... or destruction to all who stand in their way. And Zeus? He is watching. Waiting. And he will not let this go unanswered.Complete
The Shadowed Song of Ithaca
Kallistrate was never a darling of the altars. Raised in Sparta and rumored to be Hades' blood, she learned early that survival is a craft. Her gifts-hearing the dead, bending shadow, keeping her spine steady-make her a useful problem the gods can't ignore. When she's sent to Ithaca to marry Prince Telemachus, she finds a court rotting under a hundred hungry men and a queen who refuses to bend. Ares trains her at dawn. Athena tests her at dusk. The island's dead crowd her name with pleas, and every rite becomes a battlefield. But Kallistrate is no one's spectacle. With Penelope at her side and Telemachus at her shoulder, she turns custom into strategy: sacred lamps, feast-day oaths, the old challenges that remember who a king is. As omens sharpen and a beggar with storm-bright eyes kneels at a dais, Ithaca's halls brace for the reckoning. A lyrical retelling filled with political intrigue, found courage, and slow-burn devotion, The Shadowed Song of Ithaca asks what it costs to keep a home-and whether a girl made of shadows can write her own ending. For fans of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint, Jorge Rivera-Herrans and mythic romantasy with sharp edges. Content notes: violence; death/grief; gods' manipulation; trauma mentions; court/political tension, mentions of assault (NEVER graphic), men being intimidating.Complete
