DOWNLOAD EBOOKBooks One and TwoFor Love of WarAres, the Greek god of War, has fallen on hard times. Modern technology has left him a proverbial fish out of water, relegated to finding a poor substitute for battle in rough biker bar fistfights. When Hermes shows up with an offer from Zeus, king of the gods, Ares thinks he's finally found a way to regain his past glory.A demigod on Earth has come into his powers, and they're strong enough to send a ripple through Olympus. Zeus needs the fledgling demigod dead. Dion, the demigod in question, has no idea of his Olympian roots until he wakes up to find Ares there to kill him. But Dion isn't totally defenseless, and Ares soon discovers he's caught in a web of lies that only the Fates will be able to untangle.Styx and StonesAt his wits' end and in need of a decent night of sleep, Hermes seeks a nap in what he feels will be the place where he's least likely to be disturbed - the Underworld. Although he aims for the Elysian Fields, he misjudges his landing and ends up in a decrepit castle full of dirt, mold, bugs, and rats - and the stunningly gorgeous, epically dangerous god of Death, Thanatos.Thanatos has been cursed to remain in the horrid castle until another god lets him out. Hermes, he reasons, is exactly who he needs to gain his freedom, whether Hermes likes it or not, but in escaping, he finds himself literally chained to Hermes.To gain their freedom from one another and the revenge Thanatos seeks for being locked up for centuries on false pretenses, they must confront powerful, often bloodthirsty gods, and possibly incur the wrath of the most powerful creatures in the Universe - The Fates.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSociety darling Persephone Dimitriou wants nothing to do with her mother's ambitions. She's biding her time until she's able to leave the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start her doctorate degree. The one thing she never planned on? Her mother ambushing her with an engagement to Zeus--a man with more than a few dead wives in his past. Persephone will do anything to escape that fate...even flee the sparkling upper city and make a devil's bargain with a man she once believed was a myth. Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. Not even for the woman who flees into his territory as if the very hounds of hell are on her heels. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent his entire life craving? It's all the excuse he needs to agree to help her--for a price. She'll be his for the summer, and then he'll see her safely out of Olympus and away from her mother and Zeus. Hades and Persephone's deal might seem simple enough, but they both quickly realize it's anything but. With every breathless night spent with Hades, Persephone wonders at her ability to leave him behind. And Hades? Now that he has a taste for Persephone, he's willing to go to war with Olympus itself to keep her...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShe was the face that launched a thousand ships, the fierce beauty at the heart of Olympus...and she was never ours to claim. *A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Patroclus that's as sinful as it is sweet.* In Olympus, you either have the power to rule...or you are ruled. Achilles Kallis may have been born with nothing, but as a child he vowed he would claw his way into the poisonous city's inner circle. Now that a coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to compete and double their odds of winning. Neither expect infamous beauty Helen Kasios to be part of the prize...or for the complicated fire that burns the moment she looks their way. Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give to away, but she has her own plans. She enters into the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen rulers, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her dead than lead the city. The only people she can trust are the ones she can't keep her hands off—Achilles and Patroclus. But can she really believe they have her best interests at heart when every stolen kiss is a battlefield?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe history of the divine is the history of human thought. For as long as men and women have pondered the mysteries of their existence, they have answered their own questions with stories of gods and goddesses. Belief in these deities shaped whole civilizations, yet today many of their names and images lie buried. The Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities makes those names available to the general reader as well as the scholar. This reference work lists all the known gods through recorded history. Alphabetically arranged entries provide the name of each deity (with alternate spellings), as well as notes on names that may be linguistically or functionally related. The tribe or culture that worshiped the deity is identified, and the god's origins and functions are explained. An extensive bibliography provides opportunities for further research and an exhaustive index provides access to the entries through virtually all names, forms and kinds of deities.
