A multitude of threads make up the fabric of the Universe. Some are gilded, some are frayed, and some are dipped in kerosene.
Chosen by the gods.
Ensnared by the Fates.
Will she bloom, wilt, or wither?
Leila
wakes up with nothing— no memories, no past— only the powers granted to her by the goddess Persephone. Navigating her new life is a challenge when she lives in New Olympus: a magical city where the Greek myths are a reality. When she's forced to stay the winter secluded from everything with the one person she hates, following Persephone's path becomes darker than she could've ever imagined.
Blake
may be one of the strongest in New Olympus, but his powers gifted by Hades have always been a source of strife and exclusion. Now he has friends and a girlfriend who offer him a respite from his past and the stigma of his powers. When Leila arrives, his carefully constructed peace starts to crumble as he fights the pull to be around her. With winter comes a deadly test of his control, his allegiances, and his sanity.
In a city threaded by destiny, Blake and Leila could be the spark that ignites their world into chaos. Fate and free will collide in this modern adaptation of Greek mythology.
A dark and dangerous debut by young adult fantasy author Hunter Kay.
