History didn’t always give them a happily-ever-after… it’s time to change that.
Greek Mythology Retellings: Goddesses In Love: Athena’s Challenge: Book 3 – Blurb
One is hiding their identity, the other is trying to understand theirs.
Faced with the possibility of having her beloved city of Athens governed by Poseidon, Athena goes on a quest to find the perfect gift for humanity. What she finds, instead, is a friendship with an unlikely ally who has her questioning her very purpose.
Tiresias lives simply, spending the days propagating new varieties of plants and conducting research. Little does he know that the unnamed plant he is working on could be the very thing that keeps a cherished goddess on her throne.
Athena must make a choice…save her people from a known tyrant or stay with the person who has stolen her heart. The goddess’s decision should be easy, but she is no longer thinking like one.
This is a reimagined story about a relationship between the virgin goddess Athena, and the legendary prophet, Tiresias, who lived as both a man and a woman, according to Greek myth. The romance is told, told in 3rd person POV and has some steam on the page, but is mainly fade to black. The Greek Mythology retellings in this series stay as true as they can to the original myths, but reimagine the endings to give the women the happily ever-after they have always deserved.
