Vigyázat! Cselekményleírást tartalmaz.

In The Gatekeeper's Sons, Therese and Thanatos, the god of death, met and fell in love. In The Gatekeeper's Challenge, they did everything they could to be together, even break an oath on the River Styx. But the Olympians don't tolerate oath-breakers.
In this third book in the saga, The Gatekeeper's Daughter, Therese may have finally succeeded in becoming a goddess, but if she wants to remain one, she'll not only have to discover her unique purpose, but also make some allies among the gods. Artemis sends her on a seemingly impossible quest across the world, while Than searches for a way to appease Ares. To make matters worse, her baby sister's life depends on the outcome of her quest.

A New Goddess címmel is megjelent.

She grinned. “So you’re going to teach me how to drive, huh?”
“He’s not.” Hermes appeared like a flash between them. “I am.”
Therese’s eyes widened. “Hermes? Where did you come from?”
“Than disintegrated and persuaded me to meet you here.”
Therese glanced at Than. Really? “You can’t be serious.”
“Why not?” Hermes quipped. “I am, after all, the god of travelers.”
“I thought you were the messenger god.”
“I am. And also of language, persuasion, animal husbandry, astronomy, commerce, and theft, among other things.”

As Than approached, he noticed how many of the patrons in the gallery allowed their eyes to linger on Apollo. Men and women alike couldn’t stop looking at him and admiring his beauty. Even now, with his lover beside him, Apollo was greeted by two women competing against one another for his attention. Than wondered if he would have a similar effect on the living if he weren’t Death.
“Absolutely,” Apollo said to him silently. “You are quite stunning, you know.”
“Thank you,” Than replied, also in silence, as he grew closer to the god of light.

“I am Dione. I’d know you anywhere, Thanatos. You, too, have broken many hearts by separating lovers with death.”
“But I have no say in the matter.”
“Who decides such things, then?”
“Usually, Tyche, the goddess of chance, an Oceanid and sister of yours, I believe. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting her.”

Of course. He’d heard of Dione. Few gods on Mount Olympus acknowledged her role in Aphrodite’s existence, wanting to subjugate the daughters of the Titans. Both Aphrodite, daughter of Dione, and Athena, daughter of Metis, had had their histories rewritten with sole credit of their parentage attributed to Zeus. Only Hades, least happy with his lot and most concerned with justice, had mentioned their names on rare occasions.

“As the poet John Donne once wrote, rarely can a man find a woman both true and fair. Therese is as loyal as she is beautiful.” He kissed her hand. “I’ll be glad to one day call her daughter.” Hades disappeared.

Hades added, “And don’t god travel. The helm won’t protect you if you do. Now, come. I’ll take you home in my chariot. Persephone’s home. She can mind the store.”

Arianrhod P>!

Maybe his father had been right the time he said gods and men would never understand goddesses and women.

The chamber belonging to the Fates resembled a Las Vegas casino. It was alight with blinking colors from slot machines crammed together with archaic pinball machines along the Phlegethon, which also illuminated the room as it flowed in a circle around the perimeter of the cave through a haze of thick cigarette smoke. Two tables occupied the middle of the room. The bigger and more central was a roulette wheel that emanated a barely audible melody reminding Therese of circus music. On the right side of the roulette wheel was a much smaller table with three chairs and stacks of playing cards. Sitting in each chair was a petite wrinkled old lady holding a cigarette.
