Blessed with a Curse
2 primary works Complete
Book 1
From the moment of my birth, I became Zeus's number one Most Wanted.
I'm so screwed.
I'm not a bad person. In fact, I'm training to be a nurse so I can help and heal people. Not that Zeus would care about any of that if he even knew. No, all he cares about is his law—no humans are allowed to use magic. The punishment for breaking this is death—a fate I've been able to avoid by living my life in meticulous secrecy.
Until the night my magic activates on its own, releasing a gorgeous demigod from the town's statue.
I have no choice but to run, taking Nikandros with me. After days filled with terror of being caught and killed, Nik convinces me to fight for my freedom. My magic may be strong, but going up against Zeus himself? Impossible. Run or fight, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Thanks to this magic I've been cursed with, I will soon meet my end.
If you like touching on Greek Mythology in books like Percy Jackson, observing a young woman forced by circumstance to embrace the heroine within like Katniss in the Hunter Games, and exploring some light, clean romance with your fast-paced Young Adult Fantasy books, then you'll devour Katie Cherry's imaginative new series.
Book 2
As if living up to the legend of the person who literally fought the gods and changed the world wasn't bad enough…
My name is Grace. As the youngest child of Paige and Nikandros, I shouldn't have had to shoulder the expectations of living up to my parents' legacy. But my siblings didn't inherit the full burden of power from our parents. Meanwhile, I have strong magic, demigod power in my blood, and even visions of the future, making me one of a kind.
Which means everyone's eyes and expectations are on me, and me alone.
I wish that was my only worry, but now I've had a vision. I've seen a future where Ares kidnaps my siblings, and even my incredibly powerful parents won't be able to find them. My family's lives are now in my hands. It doesn't matter that I'm only sixteen.
It's time to live up to mom's legend, or die trying.
If you like touching on Greek Mythology and adventure in books like Percy Jackson, sympathizing with the struggle of constant pressure like Luisa in Encanto, and themes of family, hope, and belonging, you need to finish this unique duology today!
