Mal’s job used to be straightforward: find the people causing problems for Hades and give them a one-way ticket to his realm. But with Hades’s temple a pile of rubble and his other operatives dead, she has a new mission—prevent the entire world from finding out about the temple while single-handedly holding Hades’s territory against the rest of the gods. And in less than two days, a documentary crew will get access to the ruins of the temple, and broadcast the truth about the gods’ secret wars.

Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, can alter a few memories and make the publicity problem go away. All she wants in return is one human dead—a human who happens to have the power to level entire buildings with a thought.

Zoe Cannon may or may not be a supervillain out to conquer the world through writing. When not writing, she can be found perfecting her schemes for world domination, plotting against her archenemies, and staying up too late reading a book. Her secret lair is rumored to be located somewhere in southern New Hampshire. She also writes as her mild-mannered alter ego, Z.J. Cannon.
Cruelty, selfishness, greed… this world is full of darkness. But light still exists, caged but undimmed, an unquenchable spark at the core of the human heart. And that spark is worth fighting for.
Some people are still willing to fight. Bloodied and broken, they rise undaunted from every defeat to fight for justice and compassion in a world that has none. But before they can drive back the world’s darkness, they’ll need to confront the darkness in their own souls.
These are the heroes at the heart of Z.J. Cannon’s work, which blends page-turning suspense with high-stakes drama to create stories about flawed and often deeply damaged people fighting against overwhelming odds to do what’s right.
