Olympians, Demigods and Rebels (The Chronicles of Greek Mythology, #2) / The Chronicles of Greek Mythology (ePub)

Even gods can bleed…

In this collection the myths of three of the most defiant characters in Greek mythology-Persephone, Sisyphus and Orpheus-are retold like never before.

In Scion of Gaia, Persephone finds her mother's mind broken by madness. With the world withering and mortals dying by the thousands with every turn of the Sun, will the Queen of the Underworld stop the collapse of the world and save her mother from certain death, or will she be forced to pay her due to destiny by committing the ultimate crime?

In King of Defiance Sisyphus is a man sentenced by the Olympians to pay for his disobedience by pushing a boulder up a mountain in the depths of Tartarus until the end of time. But prophecies and omens say he must face the gods and that resilience will be his best ally against them. When an action meant to save his kingdom brings Sisyphus against the most powerful of the Olympians, the battle for his soul truly begins.

And in Song of Forever, we meet young Princess Macaria, who turns to stories of love and loss among mortals to seek solace in a world without happy endings. After the queen assigns Macaria more responsibility in the ruling of the Netherworld, the young goddess learns that justice is swift but seldom fair. When the mortal Orpheus breaches the Underworld to retrieve his wife, he threatens the very balance of life and death. With Orpheus' destiny in her hands, will she choose what history and duty say is necessary-or follow her heart?

How far are our heroes willing to go to break the status quo and claim their freedom?
