By Kelley Heckart

Nymphs and centaurs collide in an epic war of gods, monsters, and forbidden desire.
(A standalone dark fantasy romance in the Arcadia series.)

Callisto is the nymph who betrayed Artemis. This is her story.

Callisto, the daughter of the great Arcadian King Lycaon and the nymph Maia, has taken a sacred vow of purity, forsaking all others for Artemis, and attains the revered position of Bear Goddess among the nymphs. When she meets Kasin, a follower of Zeus and her sworn enemy, her life is shattered.

Kasin is a centaur prince and one of few who can take human shape. Despite having sworn allegiance to Zeus, he saves the life of one of Artemis's nymphs. He is torn between his love for Callisto and his duty to his people and his god.

Danger and betrayal follow Kasin and Callisto after their secret, forbidden connection is exposed. To survive, they must evade a god obsessed with having Callisto for himself, as well as others who also want to keep them apart. With a devastating war looming between the centaurs and the nymphs, Callisto must make a difficult choice. To prevent bloodshed and to save an innocent life, she must die.

Game of Thrones meets the Iliad with more warrior women and Greek mythology with a twist. An epic ancient historical, enemies to lovers romantasy with centaurs and nymphs that rivals Outlander.
