The Gifts of Pandora: A retelling of Pandora's myth
About this ebook
In a single moment, Pandora lost the only person she cared for. For refusing to aid a tyrannical order, Zeus bound Prometheus in eternal torment. But Pandora’s beloved left her a gift: a puzzle box, that when solved, allows her to jaunt through time. So begins her relentless pursuit to save Prometheus.
Across the Ages, Pandora strives against the world of the Olympians, battling the corruption of their misogynistic systems. To succeed, she must confront gods, monsters, and the fearsome Nemesis. Yet her greatest foe may not prove Zeus and his order, but Fate itself, for time resists changes, and its weave is more complex than Pandora can imagine.
Tapestry of Fate begins an epic melding Greek mythology, time travel, and dark fantasy into a vast adventure that spans millennia. Familiar stories unfold in new ways. Tragic heroes grapple with flaws and decisions that echo through time. And in the darkest moments, the greatest gift is a hope that refuses to burn out. This series serves as a prequel to Gods of the Ragnarok Era.

The Gifts of Pandora

About the author
Along with his wife and daughter, Matt lives as a digital nomad, traveling the world while researching for his novels. He reads approximately a bazillion books a year, loves video games, and relaxes by binge watching Netflix with his wife.
Matt writes retellings of mythology as dark, gritty fantasy. His passions of myths, philosophy, and history inform his series. He strives to combine gut-wrenching action with thought-provoking ideas and culturally resonant stories.
As a child, Matt read The Lord of the Rings with his parents. This sparked a lifelong obsession with fantasy and started him on a path of discovering the roots of fantasy through mythology. In exploration of these ideas, the Eschaton Cycle was born—a universe of dark fantasy where all myths and legends play out.
