title: Mythology
author:  Helen Boswell 
description: Helen Boswell loved to get lost in the pages of a story from the time she could sound out the words. She credits her dad, an avid fiction reader, with encouraging her to read ALL OF THE BOOKS on his shelves from the time she was a teenager. Originally from upstate New York, Helen spent much of her early adult life tromping around in Buffalo, NYC, Toronto, and Las Vegas, those cities now serving as inspiration for the dark and gritty urban backdrops of her stories. An author of both urban fantasy and contemporary romance, she loves to read and write characters that come to life with their beauty, flaws, and all.

  As the end of an age approaches, gods whisper horrors, families scheme for
  power and one woman may hold the secret to a lost legacy
  
  
  At nineteen, Ada of Caria yearns to take the Snake Blood throne from her mad
  older siblings. She seeks the help of a young orphaned girl named Helen, the
  first True Oracle to have walked the earth in more than three hundred years.
  
  
  Helen may be able to channel the voice of the gods, but she hates her gift and
  will do anything to get rid of it—even lie to her best friend, Myrtale, the
  priestess-princess of Epirus who is destined to marry King Philip II of
  Macedon even though she loves another.
  
  
  And in the shadows lurks a handsome green-eyed stranger who has more at
  stake—and more to lose—than anyone could possibly imagine.
  
  
  Amid jealousy and heartbreak, torrid affairs and secret rendezvous, it is
  spoken by the gods that either Helen or Myrtale—newly named Olympias—will
  carry the destiny of the known world within her womb.
