The Minoan Rhapsody
Olympus had no foresight, clouded by the chaos created by their own. As they struggled from within, the Minoans rose to power. You think you know their stories: King Minos, the Minotaur's labyrinth and the legend of Icarus. To you, they are children's tales. The Minoans, also known as the Keiftu, were real, and they were the first people to challenge the Gods. They would fail, but not because of Olympian intervention. The seeds of their undoing rooted deep below the foundation of their capitol city: Knossos. This is the story of how a boy became King, how he built an empire. This is the tale of Olympus and how the Gods' feuds brought doom and despair, turning an empire to rubble.Complete
ICARUS FALLS
We all know how the story of Icarus goes. The son of Daedalus ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he fell into the sea. Aurora Jackson was not that different from Icarus. No, she wasn't prideful, nor did she fly too close to the sun, no. She fell for the sea. She fell, and she fell 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. (watching the movies fic)
A Rule That Never Breaks
Ever since Paige was little, she's been able to see people's sorrow like a cloud hanging over their heads. Now it's coming in pretty handy in her job. Which is saving the world, obviously. Paige has never really belonged. Growing up in the foster system in Chicago would have been hard enough without seeing everyone's pain like a never-ending storm. It was better to be alone than to deal with that. But Ari, a student in her Classics class, is different. And when the roof of their classroom inexplicably comes crashing down, he tells her why. They're both distant descendants of the Greek gods. And the gods are angry. After millennia of being ignored and relegated to history books and Disney movies, the gods of Mount Olympus are wreaking havoc on earth as punishment for man's hubris. Ari and Paige travel to the mystical lands of Olympus to try the only thing you really can't do. Kill the gods.Complete

Now, his winged descendants live in the sky kingdom Empyrea, fighting an endless war with Icaria to save themselves from being bought and sold into slavery. Over a century later, however, one side of the war falters and a betrothal is proposed in order to bring peace. But when Empyrea's prince, Atlas, follows through with the treaty, he soon starts to find that the betrothal will lead to much more than was agreed upon. When paths meet and fates cross, for better or for worse, will Atlas be able to rise to throne and truly end the war for good?Complete

Teenage Life Crisis
This eBook is PG-13. Mature content added. Zeus' children always made fun of him and it totally made him mad, but his wives told him that they were just children so just go with it. But when they were already in their adulthood, they still, surprisingly, act like children. So when Zeus just got really, really pissed off, he creates an immortal who has multiple powers, and its most powerful abilities are time travel and the ability to change someone or something into a different form. So Zeus orders the immortal to turn his children to teenagers and sends them to a world that is new to them. Read the story of Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus and Hebe to see if they can fit in, have good friends, find love, and if they can handle the madness of what they consider as the 'future' and what we call now as the 'present'.Complete
