By Nikita Gill
Little, Brown and Company, 2025. 364 pages. YA Fiction
Orphaned by the war between the Titans and Olympians, Hekate is raised in the Underworld by Styx and Hades, and after discovering her powers and ascending to Goddess status, she becomes the key to ending an immortal war that threatens both the Underworld and Mount Olympus.
Gill explores themes of identity, resilience, and the effects of war on the children it leaves behind. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy mythology with a feminist lens, coming of age stories, and beautifully written poetry.
