For mortals to be free, the gods must fall.
In ancient Greece, mortals suffer under the tyranny of the gods—forced to sacrifice the food they depend on, their worldly possessions and even each other at the whims of the Twelve. But an ancient prophecy speaks of hope, of one who will set humankind free.
On the island of Naxos, Danae, a fisherman's daughter, develops strange powers tied to a mysterious tree bearing golden fruit. Driven from her home, she seeks guidance from the oracle but finds only more questions…and whispers of a secret network of believers who have long been awaiting her arrival.
Determined to learn more, Danae joins forces with the legendary Heracles and his crew. Together they battle monsters and gods alike on a quest to the end of the world as Danae seeks the one who holds the key to her destiny.
But a terrifying truth is yet to be unlocked. A truth that could destroy the world as she knows it. Danae must choose to follow her destiny or her heart, while the fate of humanity rests on her shoulders.

This book had a lot of potential, with the plot as well as the portrayal of a few of the characters, however the execution of it kind of got lost along the way. While there were some clear attempts to explain and dive deeper, a lot of things were flat out told instead of explored. There wasn't enough building around the little bits and pieces we were given, which kind of left the writing a bit basic. Because of the above point, I found it a little difficult to really get into the story and journey that Danae was going through. A lot of it was held together by the other characters. There was no satisfaction going through what our MC does.
