Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award! Featured as one of the "Must Read Books from the First Half of 2024" by Independent Book Review Betrayed by her apprentice and thrust into an impossible war, Terra allies with Hades in the name of peace. Can they depose Zeus and save the Kosmos? Terra is Graia's most powerful goddess-after all, her domain is the whole world. But when her apprentice, Typhon, betrays her, the fate of the world is at stake. Typhon launches a siege to subjugate the Kosmos, and the only thing standing between him and total dominion is Terra. She and a motley crew of dissidents come together to reestablish order, but just when peace is within reach, Zeus, their new leader, reveals his true colors. On the surface, he's a benevolent leader-but beneath his glimmering facade, he's just as bad as the tyrannical titans that came before him. Terra loses all hope-how can she depose her own flesh and blood? And then Hades steps in. As they work together to usher in a new era of democracy, they discover new truths about themselves and each other. Will Terra and Hades prevail against the machinations of their enemies? Or will Zeus's iron fist crush Graia once and for all? Gods and Monsters: Terra Solaris is an epic mythic adventure filled with political intrigue, forbidden romance, and ground-shaking battles. It is perfect for readers seeking an exciting tale that innovates on Greek mythology and explores the power of courage, sacrifice, and hope.
