Book Description

A challenge has emerged for rulership of the Underworld. Trouble brews between the king and queen of the Underworld … and in the afterlife. Zeus broke an ancient oath to never harm another deity by threatening Autumn’s life. War is declared, and Hades must protect the realm and the souls from the threat that wishes to rule them. The gloves are off, and Hades isn’t taking any chances when it comes to his family's survival. He lost them once and won’t ever again. Sometimes the old Lord of the Dead must do what an Underworld God’s got to do…if only Autumn can forgive him. Hades’ Salvation is a completed series, featuring a grumpy sunshine, billionaire fantasy romance, with a broody, cinnamon roll Greek god, and loads of flower puns. This is the second series in the Godverse universe, following on from Cupid’s Surrender, but can be read as a standalone series.

Book Description

Historical fantasy full of “suspense, treachery, and bone-crunching action . . . will leave fans of the genre eagerly awaiting the rest of the series” (The Times Literary Supplement). It was a time of myth and mystery. A time when Gods walked among men. It was a time of heroes. Greece is a country in turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring wealth, power and revenge. When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of a group of warriors in battle, little does he know that it will be the start of an incredible adventure. For he is about to join the charismatic Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, on a vital quest to save his homeland. Odysseus travels to Sparta to join the most famous heroes of the time in paying suit to the sensuous Helen. Armed with nothing but his wits and intelligence, he must enter a treacherous world of warfare and politics to compete for the greatest prize in Greece. But few care for the problems of an impoverished prince when war with Troy is beckoning. An epic saga set in one of the most dramatic periods of history, King of Ithaca is a voyage of discovery of one man’s journey to become a King—and a legend. “A must read for those who enjoy good old epic battles, chilling death scenes and the extravagance of ancient Greece.” —Lifestyle Magazine “The reader does not need to be classicist to enjoy this epic and stirring tale. It makes a great novel.” —Historical Novels Review

Book Description

Descent: A Journey for Women provides a map to the territory of descent myths. Using this map, a woman can determine which descent pattern is present within her life and find the support she needs to spiritually awaken.From the Preface: "Throughout human history, a sacred timeless path has called to women over and over again, the path of descent. And unlike the hero's journey where at each juncture the hero attains gifts, tools, or allies, the descent journey asks us to relinquish our hard won trophies, shatter our deeply held convictions, dissolve our ego-supporting illusions, and surrender our very innocence."Katrina Messenger is an apt guide, teacher and translator of these stories. She helps the reader comprehend the intricacies of each story and how each story can affect a woman's life.
