Becoming Aurea

By Katrina Rose McKinney

Becoming Aurea
Book One of The Aurean Cycle
By Katrina Rose McKinney

Born into a mortal body in modern-day New York City, Ash has always felt like something was missing-like her skin didn't quite fit, like her soul remembered being divine.

But the truth is far more than metaphor.

Ash carries the soul of Hermaphroditus, once a god of duality and desire-slain in the Titan War, lost to time. Now reborn as Aurea, she begins to awaken into a divine femininity that defies mortal understanding. Her body changes. Her power stirs. And with every step toward godhood, she draws closer to a truth the world-and the gods-aren't ready to face.

Dionysus, her eternal lover, has searched across millennia and pantheons to find her. But ancient forces stir again. Cronus, the devourer, has felt her return... and he remembers her beauty, her power, and his obsession.

As Aurea's identity blooms and divine forces converge, she must reclaim her truth and her throne before the past consumes the future.

A lyrical, slow-burn fantasy about rebirth, queerness, divinity, and the hunger to become whole.
