Until Danae eats a mysterious golden apple and her life unravels with a dangerous path unfolding before her.

But Danae’s destiny is not to fight beasts. 
She will hunt the Gods. 
She will drag them screaming from Olympus . . .

Few novels have captivated me the way Daughter of Fate did. Danae’s battle against destiny and the Twelve is as brutal as it is beautiful, and Webb weaves prophecy, peril, and heartbreak into a story that left me eager for what comes next.

Crystal King, author of The Happiness Collector

This is a fantastic (and fantastical) second instalment in Danae's story. Webb's treatment of these familiar myths is creative and enthralling, bringing Ancient Greece to life even in the depths of the Underworld.

Searching for her sister’s soul, Danae journeys to the Underworld. In the dark caverns below the earth, she must brave her worst fears and face Hades, the terrifying God of the Dead. Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, is sent on a secret mission by his father, Zeus. Seizing the chance to finally win his family’s respect and the heart of the woman he loves, Hermes must risk everything to succeed. Meanwhile, on Mount Olympus, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, watches from the shadows, her once bright faith in her husband extinguished. And decides to take matters into her own hands…
