Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything.
For there was a prophecy long before she was born:
'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne,
Her paternity unknown.
They would carve her face and never forget,
for she would be the most beautiful that they had met
Cursed for the same fate as her mother
Forced to leave her love for another
The only way she shall break this curse
is if she defeats the first'
"Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him.

*A warning note*
I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot.
Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.
