In Ancient Greece, the twelve gods demand the ultimate tribute – food, treasure, even human sacrifice. There are some mortals who cling to a desperate prophecy – telling of one to come who’ll set them free. But few truly believe it. Until Danae, a fisherman's daughter, eats a mysterious golden apple. Suddenly, her life unravels and a strange and dangerous path unfolds before her.
Chased from her home, she neither understands nor fully controls her future. One which will find Danae walking the winding roads of heroes. There, she encounters and befriends the mighty demi-god, Heracles. Together, they will seek out monsters to battle.
But Danae’s destiny is not to fight beasts. She will hunt the gods. She will drag them screaming from Olympus . . .

Daughter of Fate
Book 2 of The Dark Pantheon Trilogy
Life threatening odds. Dangerous gods. And a prophecy only she can fulfil…
Danae has fought monsters, crossed oceans and stared into the face of death. It is the price of the prophecy naming her as the mortal who will destroy Olympus.
But gods do not fall without a fight.
As they hunt her, Danae descends into the shadows of the Underworld to search for help ― and the sister she lost to its depths. Accompanied by her faithful winged horse and a handful of companions, whose true allegiance remains uncertain, Danae uncovers secrets long hidden.
Secrets about Zeus’ powerful hold on the mortal world and the fate she is bound to. But the deeper she journeys, the closer the gods watch. Hera seethes. Poseidon plots. And Zeus will stop at nothing to destroy this mortal girl who dares challenge him.
Because the gods will never give up their power. Just as Danae will never give up her destiny . . .
