Description


A Cursed Girl. An Ancient Oracle. A Secret Goddess. A Fated Love. Athens, 525 BCE: Twenty-six-year-old Nyxenia of the powerful Alcmaeonidae Family did not agree to become the sacred Oracle of Delphi. Yet she still finds herself surrounded by sacred priests, trapped within a sacred city, and expected to receive prophecies from a sacred god. But when it comes to the Olympians, nothing is ever that simple. Apollo, God of Light and Prophecy, has no intention of making her new role easy. Especially when he knows something Nyxenia does not; she is more than an oracle. She is the daughter of a Primordial Goddess, heir to an ancient power older than Olympus itself. As Apollo and Nyxenia grow intimately closer, the Greek Gods discover a terrifying truth: her power can override their own. Will the Pantheon seek to destroy the woman The Fates have woven into their lives? Or will they bow before the God of Light and the Goddess of Darkness? A deliciously sinful retelling of the Oracle of Delphi featuring hidden family secrets, a protective god, and a sacred bond of fate that's perfect for readers who love Scarlett St. Clair, R.A. Winter, and "Lore Olympus."
