Sánchez to the Seminary Co-op!About the Book: Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Alexandra Bracken, this novel-in-verse from world-renowned poet Nikita Gill is a richly imagined retelling of the Greek myth of Styx, goddess of the underworld river.Before the tale of Zeus and Hera, and their powerful siblings, there were the Titans. A golden age of divinity when the earth was still new. Back then, there was no hierarchy. There were simply Gods and Goddesses. Until one God broke the sacred peace and decided that under his new order, lesser Goddesses would lose their divinity and were instead named nymphs.But Goddesses are an ancient force, unanswerable to anyone. This is an untold story of a nymph who fought the odds. A tale of a nymph who became a Goddess.This fierce and heartrending tale of sisterhood, identity, love, and war reimagines a Greek myth to explore the fall of the Titanomachy and showcases the coming of age of one of the most infamous deities of the underworld.Meet all the Goddesses of the Underworld:Hekate: The WitchStyx: The RiverNyx: The Night (coming Fall 2027!)About Nikita Gill:Nikita Gill is an Irish-Indian poet, playwright, illustrator, and author based in the south of England.
