And suddenly, her life unravels and a strange and dangerous path unfolds before her. Chased from her home, she neither understands nor fully controls her future. One which will find Danae walking the winding roads of heroes. There, she encounters and befriends the mighty demi-god, Heracles. Together, they will seek out monsters to battle.

FOR MORTALS TO RISE, THE GODS MUST FALL.

In Ancient Greece, the twelve gods of Olympus rule with fear, demanding sacrifice, obedience and silence.

As a mortal girl, Danae has always lived in their shadow. Until the day she takes a bite of a forbidden golden apple.

Suddenly hunted, marked by a prophecy she doesn’t understand, she’s forced to flee. On her journey, she crosses paths with heroes, monsters and the legendary Heracles.

But Danae isn’t like the heroes in the old stories.

She’s not here to win glory.
She’s not here to bow to Olympus.

She will hunt the Gods.

She’ll drag them screaming from Olympus . . .
