‘Epic, captivating and spellbinding, Daughter of Chaos takes you on a quest like no other.’
— Saara El-Arifi, number one bestselling author of Faebound
For mortals to be free the gods must fall.
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 . . .
