MYTHIC MATTERS
Mythology with teeth. A novel, short stories, and a few (cute) things to wear.
OUT NOW
The Art of Killing Gods
The gods never left. We only got quieter.
Jaden Pierce didn’t know that until my brother mowed him down with a bicycle in Amsterdam and healed him out of guilt. Now he’s walked into an empire coming apart. Twelve gods with less ambrosia every year. And a secret about his own mother he’s determined to dig up, whatever it costs him.
It doesn’t end well. It never does, with us.
“Jaden’s story gives the novel its emotional center. His grief, anger, and search for meaning feel grounded, which helps balance the larger mythological elements.”
