bully bullying destiny gods greece greek magic mystery myth mythology prophecy voyage

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?

Ascendance (On Hold) by Harper_Lee07

Sera has spent her life in Pondmire, a village where the future is set: marry, work the fields, and never dream beyond the horizon. But when a reckless prince unknowingly calls upon an ancient goddess, it's not a divine warrior who answers- It's her. Thrown into a world of war, forgotten gods, and a crumbling kingdom, Sera is forced to travel with Eryx, the future king of Pernath, who is convinced she is more than just a farm girl. But the gods have been silent for centuries, their names lost to myth, their magic long gone. Sera refuses to believe she could be the missing piece in a war she never asked for. Yet, as she journeys through the Piclan Wilds, Pernath's grand halls, and an armory of relics that whisper of a past she doesn't remember, the name Pali-the Goddess of the Fight-stirs something inside her. And when long-dead magic awakens at her touch, Sera faces an impossible choice: Accept the truth of who she was... or run from the war she was born to end. *****UNEDITED**** I will go through and edit once I have finished

Iris by TaylorBarlow951

“Look, whoever you are-” “Michael. And who are you?” he interrupted. Rude. “Michael. My name is Iris, Bonnie is indisposed at the moment, so my father sent me. I’m sure I can pass along any information so Bonnie can do whatever it is she does. How can I be of assistance?” I try to be polite as possible by putting on a sincere smile but my efforts are useless since his face is still marred with a nasty look. “Are you Hades' daughter?” He asked. “Something like that, yeah. What is the reason for your visit Michael? I know it's not to investigate the river of lost souls so what do you want?” This is how Bonnie talks right? Get down to the situation at hand. “There is a commotion in the heavens. As im sure you know, I am Zeus' right hand man so im pretty in the know of everything going on. Supposedly there's- a lost heir if you will. See, Zeus claims to have been pursued by a strange woman who looked similar to his significant other, and he believes that a child was spawned.” It all starts with an alliance. Iris is a girl in a sticky situation. She's also about to find out that she has been lied to her whole life and that everything she knows, even about herself, is a complete lie. She meets Michael, one of the most powerful men on Olympus without being a god himself. When he comes to the underworld asking questions he shouldn't be asking, Iris strikes a deal- a deal that changes her life forever. After her meet- her whole world is turned around and flipped upside down. Book by: Taylor Barlow AKA TaylorBarlow953 Original cover by: 4evadatrueme

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝑺𝒏𝒂𝒑 They say the nicest people are the scariest when they're angry. But Hellenics? They put that saying to shame. Forged by Maelstrom, the 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐚, Hellenics were shaped as near-perfections of the Primordial Deities-beings of unparalleled might. Over the centuries, their reputation became legend. The men? Killing machines. The women? Torture artists. Some dismiss these claims as myths, arguing that divine lineage alone doesn't create monsters. Time passed. People forgot. The world moved on. Until today. What happens when someone so kind, so easygoing-someone who never lets his anger show-𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐬? Even if it doesn't last long... who knows what damage will be done? Was it trauma? A trigger? Pure, unchecked rage? 𝘖𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦? Because there's a truth people often forget: 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. And that's exactly what happened to 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐢. But unlike most, Demi isn't just anyone-he's a 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜. A descendant of the 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫. So tell me... What do you expect from the bloodline of a war god? Surprise, surprise. Even a bird has claws. And a bird, once upon a time, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳.

Queen Of Hell & Paradise (Immortal gods: Book 1) by BitchIsMyReligion

She has the makings and potential of a queen-- one worthy enough to be crowned monarch of the third and darkest realm... At first glance, a gloomy greek god and a high school cheerleader have nothing in common. One is only eighteen and the other is centuries old. One is immortal, the other is human. One thrives in the spotlight, the other prefers the comfort of their isolation. One prefers being the center of attention, and the other likes to admire from afar. They're as different as night and day. And yet, despite their differences, there is one thing that unites them both. Fate. Cover by me
