Allow me to compel you into realms of my imagination. Allow me to take you on a journey, to a world of goddesses and demigods, of monsters and evil Regents, of prophecies and heroines/heroes.

In the beginning was a world ruled by Men, which was filled with wars and death. The tribulations of the Mortal realms came to the attention of the Greek gods and goddesses. Zeus (King of the Heavens) held a meeting in Olympus to end the sufferings of the mortals. But the devious Hera (Queen of the heavens) blamed Man for the destruction of the mortal realm. And when the gods were against it, Hera connived with other goddesses to make an elixir that transferred dominance to Women, causing a paradigm shift across the mortal realms. Then the goddesses dwelled in the mortal realms to teach and create fantastical cities, that is, until they vanished to the heavens. Then millions of years passed as mortals flourished in peace, before dark forces began rising.

A generation of teenagers: Chilton and Chilonis, Tiki and Rode, Lozen and Joanne are all descendants or legacies of these goddesses, who are determined to roam the perilous cities and battle evil and participate in a competition called the Heraen games: where the winners who find the ‘Urn of Nike’ lives and the losers die.

‘Daughters of Hera: legacies of goddesses’ is a YA/NA dark fantasy that combines Greek mythology with world building, and multi-characters, which would appeal to a broad audience among fans of George R. R Martin’s ‘Game of Thrones’ and Rick Riordan’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ series respectively.

Daughters of Hera

Chilton held his hands steady, as he aimed at a squirrel who was more interested in a nut, that of its own life, she managed to calm the fidgeting in his fingers, “When I was taught to shoot from my sister, she told me this words of wisdom which I'll pass to you now, she said: Focus, there's the body, soul and the mind. You need to decide which is which . . . Their boundaries are too thin and blurry, where do you end and where do you begin? Firstly you must find yourself, and then be one body, soul and mind with your arrows,” 


“I do not understand a word you just said; can you dumb it down a bit please? How can I be of one body or soul with my arrows?” enquired Saffron, whimsically. 


Chilton let out a soft chuckle, “I don’t understand it myself either. I told my sister to explain what she meant by this statement so many times . . . But she wouldn't budge or say its true meaning. I think it's just sheepish gibberish, but I memorized it in-case she asks.”
