Half mythological fantasy, half instructional manual on witchcraft and esoteric philosophy.
"There are no small lives, only small souls."
Tasked by Fate to interview the formidable goddess Hekate, writer Zara finds herself navigating a labyrinth of divine secrets, ancient magic, and dangerous truths. What begins as a simple interview quickly becomes something far more perilous as Zara is drawn deeper into the shadowed world of gods, witchcraft, and forgotten myths.
As she uncovers Hekate’s lessons, Zara must also confront her own struggles: a debilitating chronic illness that keeps her largely confined to home, a complicated history with the god Hades, and a shocking revelation about the true origins of her soul. A truth powerful enough to reshape destiny itself. One that could either save those she loves or condemn them all to the shadows.
Blending Greek mythology, modern mythological fantasy, and deeply personal storytelling, this novel explores the tension between faith and logic in a modern world where ancient gods still watch from the dark. Confined within the mundane walls of her everyday life, yet entangled in divine politics, Zara must learn the painful (and often brutal) nature of healing, self-acceptance, and transformation.
All while maintaining a professional façade in front of one of the most dangerously effective deities of the old world.
A character-driven mythological fantasy about fate, identity, chronic illness, and the hidden power of ordinary lives.
The second novel in the Secrets of Olde series.
