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

“Mortals cruelty will never end; not even their greediness and wickedness. If by chance they see a bird flying freely, they shoot it down and clip its wings. If by grace they see a horse running wildly, they'll chain it down and kill it with loads. If by opportunity they see someone closely different from them, they'll shudder in fear and enslave them, just as they did to you all. 


“Why are they so insecure to change? Why should their trangession be only towards another woman or man? Why should one cage a race, because of their status, their low class status and unimportance? Why shouldn't the poor be given a chance? Why shouldn't you all be able to raise your heads into the sky, and breathe in the freedom you all deserve? Why shouldn't your children eat of the finest things, the things that parents’ money can provide? Why should the poor be put through inhumane madness, just to feed the rich, just to stroke their ego? 


Why should the capitalist rule the world?
