This book may not only be interesting for pagans and witches but also if you'd like to research Greek mythology and need some basics about this.

Eeep! I'm super stoked to reveal the book blurb for the third installment in my romantasy series Immortal Rogues.🤩

This one's been a long time coming, so if you've forgotten the series, here's a quick refresher:

🏺Book 1, Secret Shadows, was a retelling of the classical Greek myth about Hades and Persephone.
🏹Book 2, Archer's Arrow, followed Artemis hunting down the Norse wolf Fenrir and falling in love with him along the way.
☠️Book 3, Dead Dilemma, will tell the story of the Egyptian god Anubis and his forbidden relationship with Rhea.

And here's the official blurb:
-----------------------
He’s guided the dead for eternity. Now he’s losing himself to the living.

Anubis has never faltered. Not when he led countless souls through the Underworld. Not when they begged for mercy he could never grant. Not even when his pantheon fell into chaos. Duty comes first—always has, …

This world was not designed for us
And I've been punished, I've been blessed

[Chelsea Wolfe - “Whispers in the Echo Chamber”]

Ilustración de Asteria para las guardas de la edición especial limitada y en tapa dura de "Rojo y Oro", completamente revisada y reescrita por sus autoras Iria G. Parente y Selene M. Pascual, que saldrá a la venta de la mano de la editorial Molino el día 20 de octubre.

Ilustración a línea en blanco y negro representando a una mujer joven casi de cuerpo entero, una amazona guerrera. Tiene cabello corto y liso, viste una túnica griega, sandalias y algunas piezas de armadura, y esgrime una espada. Su pose es grácil, pero llena de fuerza, como si luchase bailando, y extiende su brazo libre en un gesto decidido y urgente, como si estuviera intentando agarrar a alguien de la mano. Su cuerpo está surcado de cicatrices. La expresión de su rostro es fiera y angustiada. — Black and white illustration depicting a young woman, an amazon warrior, almost in full body. She has short straight hair and is wearing a Greek tunic, sandals and some pieces of armour, and she is wielding a sword. Her fighting pose is graceful and full of strength, as if she were dancing, and she reaches out with her free arm, determined and urgent, as if trying to grab somebody’s hand. Lots of scars cover her body. Her expression is fierce and anguished.

-- I have so many favorite mythology-themed books!

Here are 2 that share the theme of what "heroes" leave behind and who they are to the people around them:

🗡️ The Shadow of Perseus by Claire Heywood (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709004/the-shadow-of-perseus-by-claire-heywood/)

💪 Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/herc-phoenicia-rogerson?variant=43759714598946)

Going way back now, one of Greece's earliest poets with the earliest versions of the Greek creation along with didactic verse of right behavior.

The villain gets the girl AND a redemption arc 🤩 It's a win-win, right?

I looooove Greek mythology, so maybe it's not surprising that I wrote a romantasy retelling of the Hades & Persephone legend.😋 The book is called Secret Shadows, and it's the first one in my series Immortal Rogues, which features Greek, Norse and Ancient Egyptian pantheons.

So if you like:
- villain MMCs with redemption arcs
- tales about the underdog
- Romantasy books with vast world-building
- Greek mythology
- spicy romances
Then grab an ebook copy of Secret Shadows from the 'Zon or Kindle Unlimited, and join Hades, the Prince Of The Underworld, on a magical ride: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Shadows-Paranormal-Romance-Immortal-ebook/dp/B08KSSJ4M6

The of / says she was born from sea foam & Uranus' genitals. The myth says is that she emerged from the sea fully-grown (that's so you don't ask questions like, how?!)

One of the most famous depictions of Venus's birth has her standing on a giant . The shell is not really germane to the -- but maybe it still counts for ?

Image of Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, a Renaissance painting. The painting shows a nude woman, Venus, standing on a large seashell in the ocean. She has long flowing hair and uses it and one hand to cover herself. To the left, two winged figures blow wind toward her, surrounded by floating flowers. To the right, a woman in a floral dress stands on land, reaching out with a pink cloak to cover Venus. The background shows calm water and a shoreline with trees.

This is Europa -- one of Jupiter's moons.
