At a time when the old gods have been forgotten… Mount Olympus is barely surviving. On the brink of extinction most of its inhabitants have fled to live out their immortality hidden among the mortals that no longer know their names.
17,000 year old goddess of fate Acacia is determined to start a new life. After erasing her memories, she is free of the myth and legends that have destroyed her family. But the lore she was born to protect can't leave her alone.
Forced out of her safe albeit boring existence as a mortal by her father’s old nanny goat, she finds herself not only back on Mount Olympus and struggling to recover her forgotten abilities but also on the front lines of a war she doesn’t believe in.
Overwhelmed by the hatred of her family, the seemingly mindless devotion of the warriors created to protect her and the returning memories of the cold-hearted person she was, Acacia must decide if she is still the weapon Olympus needs or a weakness they can no longer afford.

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
