Grace Jenner has always had what some would call an ‘unhealthy obsession’ with Greek mythology. She can’t quite describe why but something within the very fabric of the legends and tales of Greek Mythology stirs something so deep within her, it almost scares her.
Grace had always longed to be a hero, to have an adventure. She hates that her life is so mundane. She hates the orphanage in which she lives and most of all she hates the lead social worker Miss Lee. On her fifteenth birthday she makes one dangerous wish. A wish that leaves the fate of the world in her hands.
Join Grace as she is sent on a voyage filled with Gods and Men, Myth and Magic and Life and Death. Can Grace tame the angry Gods, or will her insolence only infuriate them further? And as two world’s collide can Grace manage to combine the best of both? Or will the world of the Gods finally be lost forever?
