My name is Andromeda Daniels. Yes, I am aware that my name is... well, unique. My mom, being a literature teacher, decided to name me after the Ethiopian princess in the Greek legend of Perseus. She was the original "damsel in distress", and for some reason, my mom thought that would be appropriate to name her only daughter. In the story, Andromeda was tied up as an offering, but she was so beautiful that as soon as Perseus saw her, he rushed in to save her from a sea monster. The irony in this is that no one ever notices my existence. They never take a second glance at me. This is most likely due to the fact that I've never been considered pretty, or sporty, or talented in any way. I've always been that smart girl in the corner. Well, somewhat smart. I figured it'd stay that way for the rest of my high school life. Boy, was I wrong.
"Don't worry, Andromeda," he said with a huge smirk on his face. "I'll be your Perseus."

Now, Andromeda must face many changes in her once secure life--the hardest being her moving from the beautiful island of Hawaii, to the vast Napa Valley. Can she leave her old life and accept this new one?
Myths and legends are things that Andromeda considers herself an expert in. Thrown into this new environment, she starts making connections between the characters of those stories, to the people in hers. Will she become the "Andromeda" that she's only ever read about?
And in all this, who will be her Perseus? Will it be the musically inclined, Orpheus? The athletically gifted, Adonis? The absolutely conceited, Narcissus? Or will Perseus himself finally be revealed to her?
But one thing is certain: Saving Andromeda is going to be harder than anyone thought.
Prologue:
"Hey where are we going,Aurora?"

"But...but you know I can't wait...I'm anxious"
"I know you are,but wait"
