The Gods of Arcadia: OriginsSci-Fi MythologyLong ago the Olympian gods lived with the mortals on Earth. It was a time of menacing monsters and brave heroes. It was the Age of Mythology, but it did not last. The Olympians were careless and let mankind escape from their grasp. There were too many mortals with too many new ideas to control. No matter how hard they tried, the Olympians discovered they could not stop the progress of human history. So they took the only option left to them - they started over. Transplanting a small group of human colonists to the distant planet of Arcadia, the Olympians created a new mythical world filled with robots, Amazons, computers and mythical monsters. Arcadia is a world where the future and the past live side by side in perfect harmony. Arcadia is a world where Olympians rule and mortals obey. Ardella is a follower of Athena attending the Academy in New Athens. Lyessa is the youngest daughter of the Queen of the Amazons. The unexpected meeting of these two girls turns into a life-long friendship. It does not matter that one follows Hera and the other Athena. No matter what the Gods of Arcadia have to say about it - Ardella and Lyessa will be best friends forever.

The Gods of Arcadia Saga Continues: Lyessa is the Queen of the Amazons. Her life is filled with duty, responsibility, and the endless struggle to be the perfect Amazon. Her best friend Ardella is the Daughter of Athena, and until recently lived a similar existence in Athena's Tower in New Athens. But now Ardella has fallen in love with the Son of Ares and begun to defy the Olympians. Lyessa thought this was a mistake - at least at first. Dealing with unexpected truths and challenges to her reign, Lyessa must decide if it best for her Amazons to work with or against the Gods of Arcadia.

The story of Ardella and Lyessa continues as the future queen of the Amazons comes to New Athens to attend the Academy. The Daughter of Athena and her best friend discover that not all learning takes place in the classroom.

Eons ago the gods of Mt. Olympus ruled over the developing civilization of ancient Greece. From the heights of their mountain retreat the gods manipulated and forced mankind to their will. But one day the Olympians grew bored with the mundane world - as immortals are predisposed to do. They looked away from their children for just a moment and the Earth changed. No longer were the names Zeus, Hera, and Athena whispered with awe and terror, but forgotten until they were nothing more than myths from the dawn of time. To their regret the Olympians discovered no amount of manipulation or terror could bring mankind back into the fold, and so they were obliged to start again. Transplanting a small group of humans to the distant world of Arcadia, the gods created their own perfect Utopian society. In their self-absorbed way each Olympian reigned over a cult of followers in a personal city-state where their word was law. To promote harmony, the Great Law of the Olympians sought to suppress the volatile nature of humanity by forbidding war on Arcadia. Unfortunately, the Olympians learned nothing is ever perfect. Once every hundred years the Son of Ares is born to disturb the delicate balance of their world.Although Ardella of New Athens was the chosen of Athena, blessed with the gift of empathy, she was young and naïve. She made the ultimate mistake - she allowed the Son of Ares to manipulate her and escape. Almost a decade later, the Daughter of Athena is still battling the chaos caused by that moment of weakness, when her brother is captured by the enemy. To save her twin, Ardella travels to Metropolis, the fortress at the heart of the Son of Ares' empire, and offers herself in exchange. Exiled in a strange new city, the Daughter of Athena soon learns that the enemy she had come to know reading reports in her Tower in New Athens is not the same as the one she now faces in the thriving, very human culture of Metropolis. Bewildered by her growing admiration for the Son of Ares, Ardella must not only save her brother, but decide if she stands with or against the Gods of Arcadia.
