The Gods Among Us: The Divine Masquerade Series

By D.C. Belton

Could you forgive the goddess who drowned your mother, if forgiving her made you immortal?Pallas is a lonely teen from a backwater village on a forgotten shore. Born a slave like everyone around her, people hate her clothes, her parents...especially her strange name. Pallas doesn't believe in the gods except to blame them for drowning her mother. But she's forced to shelve her moody cynicism when she accidentally rescues an obnoxious cat. Suddenly a pawn in a celestial war, Pallas must do the unthinkable - champion the very goddess she hates. Masquerading as a mythic princess, she convinces everyone she's a child of Atlantis. Jealousy hounds her at every turn as she battles vengeful fanatics, a boorish prince, and a stunningly beautiful princess. Yet nothing can save her from certain doom, when the Volcano god reaches out to slay her. For how can a mortal fight a god? D. C. Belton creates an emotional world as elegant as it is deadly: where mortals fall prey to passionate gods and a slave proves stronger than craven nobility.
