FOR MORTALS TO RISE, THE GODS MUST FALL.
-
In Ancient Greece, the Gods demand the ultimate tribute - food, treasure, even human sacrifice.
There are some mortals who cling to a desperate prophecy -one will come and set them free.
But few believe it.
Until Danae eats a mysterious golden apple and her life unravels with a dangerous path unfolding before her.
Chased from her home Danae will walk the winding roads of heroes. There, she encounters the mighty demi-god, Heracles and they will seek out monsters to battle.
But Danae's destiny is not to fight beasts.
She will hunt the Gods.
She will drag them screaming from Olympus . . .
