Aphrodite and Ares are trapped...and Aphrodite's husband Hephaestus is to blame. Stuck in a golden net they cannot escape, Aphrodite asks Hephaestus to allow her to plead her case as to why she is having an affair with Ares. Against his better judgment, Hephaestus agrees. And so begins a tale...of love, war, devastation, friendships and HOPE.
As the story is told, Aphrodite calls witnesses to her tale and so Apollo and Hades make an appearance on her behalf. Why exactly is the love story between James and Hazel so important? How does the love between Aubrey and Collette prove Aphrodite's work is meaningful? Can she prove, through their stories, that she isn't some flighty floozy? Is there some deeper meaning behind why Aphrodite is even having an affair?
OH MAN! What a treat this was to get absolutely lost in. This isn't a small book and I devoured it! It's Historical Fiction with a smattering of Mythology and it couldn't have been more perfect for me. This one had me all over the place with emotions but then the best books do that. I did not want this one to end.
If you are looking for a book that will have you lost in love, crying out in despair, falling to your knees (so-to-speak) in agony, and eventually becoming lifted high on hope ... Go Grab This – “...though War is a formidable force, it's no match for the transcendent power of Love”
