Prometheus' Priestess (paperback)
Paperback & complimentary signed bookplate
Order your paperback directly from me and I'll send you a signed bookplate to place inside your copy.
Inspired by the myth of Prometheus – the Titan who stole fire from the gods to give it to humanity.
Perfect for readers of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint, and Natalie Haynes.
Every foolish thing humanity has ever done has been done for power, or love… or love of power. The gods are no exception.
When a mortal priestess is chosen by the gods to prevent humanity’s extinction, she becomes a pawn in a divine power struggle she never agreed to play.
Prometheus – creator of humankind and Titan of foresight – is certain sending her to Earth will unleash consequences even the Olympians cannot control. He refuses to aid the goddesses’ plan.
He also refuses to fall in love.
Especially not with a woman destined to be sacrificed for the greater good.
But when Prometheus steals white fire – a symbol of the gods’ forbidden knowledge – and places it in the priestess’s hands, the Fates shift.
Humanity will never be the same again.
A new era will begin.
But every gift from the gods carries a price.
And some loves are destined to burn the world down.

ABOUT YOUR PAPERBACK
Your paperback will be printed to order and shipped directly to you by one of my printing partners. This means your book can usually be printed much closer to home, rather than travelling all the way from New Zealand.
And because I can't sign your copy before it reaches you, I'll send you a complimentary signed bookplate separately from New Zealand. Simply place it inside the front of your book to turn your copy into a signed edition.
If you'd like your bookplate personalised, leave the name you'd like it made out to in the order notes at checkout.
