About this ebook

A twenty-first-century Manhattan woman travels to Mount Olympus to save the Greek gods from a killer cult in this fantasy trilogy conclusion.

"Rich, clever, and thoughtful. . . . Brodsky expertly weaves together ancient mystery cults, mythology, and science, producing a syncretic masterpiece that challenges the reader's assumptions and expectations at every turn." — Publishers Weekly

Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.

Summer in New York: a golden hour on the city streets, but a dark time for Selene. She's lost her home and the man she loves.

A cult hungry for ancient power has kidnapped her father and targeted her friends. To save them, Selene must face the past she's been running from: a past that stretches back millennia, to when the faithful called her Huntress. Moon Goddess. Artemis.

With the pantheon at her side, Selene must journey back to the seat of her immortal power: from the streets of Rome and the temples of Athens, to the heights of Mount Olympus itself.

"Like an erudite version of Die Hard , the novel moves quickly from nail-biting predicament to battle and back. . . . Brodsky's popcorn read offers a fun escape." — Kirkus Reviews

"Intense and compelling. . . . Brodsky has delivered a terrific series that brings mythology to life as the gods struggle to survive in the modern reality. Great stuff!" — RT Book Reviews

"I enjoyed the entire OLYMPUS BOUND trilogy tremendously, and absolutely recommend it to fans of Greek mythology, classics, and really well-done fiction with great characters. Olympus Bound was wonderful, and I happily look forward to reading anything Brodsky chooses to write in the future." — Fantasy Literature

Ratings and reviews

Better than the second in the trilogy, at least, but the two sequels fall far short the first book for tightness of writing and story, as well as clear and conciseness of it. This third book extends the second with more muddled, complicated story that doesn't really track, while simultaneous poor characterization makes the characters repeatedly stupid. Then it feels like a whole other book the last 20%, which at least makes more sense. Overall unimpressive. Stick to just book 1.
