Tales of the ancient Greek world-populated by monsters, gods and mortals-have been with us for millennia. But you've never heard these mythological tales told quite like this.
In this box set you will find the familiar woven into the unexpected as the myths of Pandora, Medusa, Prometheus and the Muse Calliope are retold in fresh, bold ways.
In Woman of Destiny, Pandora-the first woman created by the gods-must choose between surrendering to destiny, or becoming what no god ever imagined she could be.
In Soul of Stone, Panacea-a young Amazon warrior with a talent for potions-pits herself against a she-monster known as the Soul of Stone who has been turning people into statues for centuries. Panacea wants revenge for her brother ... but what is she willing to sacrifice to get it?
In Bringer of Fire we get to know Zid as he risks his own life to find a way to fight the gods' treachery and overcome his fear of the ancient demon who is chained to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains. He must choose between friendship and freedom as his actions set him against the most powerful of the Olympian gods: Zeus himself.
And in Muse of Avalon we meet Calliope as she flees from burning Greece, heading north to a barbarian land the natives call Britain. We join her as she struggles to help the inhabitants prosper by giving them a symbol of strength and justice. Can a sword in the stone help her find the pure-hearted leader who will give Britain its much-needed peace, or will she fail in her mission and see the country succumb to blood and anarchy?
This collection captures the soul of these famous myths, while its darkly complex mashup of myth and reality leaves us reflecting on what it really means to be human.
