Erva. Minerva. Athena. I have many names and some whisper them into the starry sky, while some shout them on the war fields. I listen to all. All I ask, is to listen back. I'll be strong, in return.
At 16, she trains to be the most skilled deity in combat and consequently becomes the faithful Tactics General for her kingdom, Mount Olympus ruled by Zeus. She's confident about the outcome of The Tournament -a rite of passage showcasing talent and control beheld by the Higher Council- but when the council denotes her as an Akrates, a powerless, her soul is literally crushed.
At 18, she's alive but not living. She still trains alone, or at least tries, though without much progress. She will never be able to engage in combat again and it pains her.
Until one day, Eric, her faithful companion and keeper of a dangerous secret is kidnapped the day before her coronation ball is due. With her worries, fear, and frustration she will discover that everything is not as the eye beholds.
Can she reign victorious as the prophecy foretold?
Can she stop a war that might lead to the utter destruction of the Universe?
Will she be able to save the people she cares for?
Especially when they need her the most?

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete
War Within
Athena was never meant to survive. Born a farmer's daughter in a dying empire, she watched as demons razed her home, as war swallowed her family, as Rome's corruption shattered everything she knew. Taken as a prisoner, forced into servitude under the infamous warlord Mira, she became a weapon-trained to kill, stripped of mercy, forged into something unrecognizable. Then, she died. Executed by the very city she fought to protect, Athena's soul should have been lost to the void. But the gods had other plans. The Angels of Heaven took her, erased her past, and reforged her as a warrior of balance-a soldier in a war older than empires, older than time itself. With the divine blade of the goddess Athena at her side, she was given a second life. A second chance. But vengeance does not die so easily.Complete
