Download or read book My Andromeda written by Brandon McYntire and published by Branko Mateja. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somewhere far beyond the horizon of knowing, in the endless Universe, there is a world which we can’t even imagine in our biggest fantasies. A world which doesn’t know evil or hate and the problems related to it-a world which is only too familiar to us. Beings which live in this world follow our everyday activities and sometimes they decide to visit us. They are similar to us and can’t be distinguished from us. This story offers an outlook and perspective on how we would behave if we met such a creature. Indecision is our characteristic since birth. If we had the choice for an endless life, everyone would decide in a different way. It would depend on which side of the scale would be heavier. In each person there’s this imaginary scale which tips to either luck or bad luck. When the main protagonist of this story says the name Andromeda, it will be his last decision, one which he won’t be able to change. Welcome to the other side of the known Universe.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF FIREBIRD JULY 2022 AWARD IN THE MYTHOLOGY CATEGORY. “Well-rounded coming of age story”—Outstanding Creator Award Nomination Review “Intriguing”—Reader’s Favorite “Bold”—Reader’s Favorite Love. Choice. Freedom. All things a mermaid shouldn’t feel or want. A mermaid is expected to be demure, to respect their betters and do what they are told. But most of all, mermaids should be seen and not heard. Princess Moriah, a maiden of the sea, living under the cruel reign of her grandfather, King Abaddon, is expected to be the same. Beautiful, cold and voiceless, like a marble statue in her own home. Only her father thought differently. Only Moriah’s father had ever asked her about her interests. He was the only one who ever gave her a choice until her visit to the human world. Like all mermaids, Moriah is required to undergo her rite of passage on her 16th birthday to visit the human world. It’s only when she meets the kind, gentle Michael that she questions the cruelty and coldness of her reality. Longing for the freedom that she and her people have never known, she must risk everything to bring about the revolution she desires. If Moriah is caught, nothing will protect her from King Abaddon’s wrath, not even her father, who always obeyed her grandfather’s every order. For her people. For her family. She will risk everything, do anything, to achieve her goals. Freedom, like magic, always comes at a price, and she is willing to pay.

In Epiro, a kingdom in Greece, Perseus is prophesied to be a great demigod hero and king, with a legacy that will shape the world of Gaia. When he was born, his grandfather exiled him, and his mother brought them to Seriphos, where she created an academy for demigod youth. Perseus trains there and waits for the day when he will be able to take the throne of Argos. Despite potential future glory, Perseus’s fellow students think he is weak. By the time he reaches manhood, he has given up the hope of having any real friends, until Antolios, a son of Apollo, takes an unexpected interest in him.

Perseus, grief-stricken and lonely, rebels against the Fates, thinking he can avoid the prophecy and live his own life. But when the gods find him, he is thrust into an epic adventure. With his divine powers, he fights gorgons and sea serpents, and battles against his darker nature. Perseus strives to be his own man… but the gods have other plans.
