Book excerpt: Ellie Stone is a professed modern girl in 1960s' New York City, playing by her own rules and breaking boundaries while searching for a killer among the renowned scholars in Columbia University's Italian Department. "If you were a man, you'd make a good detective." Ellie Stone is sure that Sgt. McKeever meant that as a compliment, but that identity-a girl wanting to do a man's job-has throttled her for too long. It's 1960, and Ellie doesn't want to blaze any trails for women; she just wants to be a reporter, one who doesn't need to swat hands off her behind at every turn. Adrift in her career, Ellie is back in New York City after receiving news that her estranged father, a renowned Dante scholar and distinguished professor, is near death after a savage bludgeoning in his home. The police suspect a routine burglary, but Ellie has her doubts. When a second attempt is made on her father's life, in the form of an "accident" in the hospital's ICU, Ellie's suspicions are confirmed. Then another professor turns up dead, and Ellie's investigation turns to her father's university colleagues, their ambitions, jealousies, and secret lives. Ellie embarks on a thorny journey of discovery and reconciliation, as she pursues an investigation that offers her both a chance at redemption in her father's eyes, and the risk of losing him forever.

Book excerpt: Books One and TwoFor Love of WarAres, the Greek god of War, has fallen on hard times. Modern technology has left him a proverbial fish out of water, relegated to finding a poor substitute for battle in rough biker bar fistfights. When Hermes shows up with an offer from Zeus, king of the gods, Ares thinks he's finally found a way to regain his past glory.A demigod on Earth has come into his powers, and they're strong enough to send a ripple through Olympus. Zeus needs the fledgling demigod dead. Dion, the demigod in question, has no idea of his Olympian roots until he wakes up to find Ares there to kill him. But Dion isn't totally defenseless, and Ares soon discovers he's caught in a web of lies that only the Fates will be able to untangle.Styx and StonesAt his wits' end and in need of a decent night of sleep, Hermes seeks a nap in what he feels will be the place where he's least likely to be disturbed - the Underworld. Although he aims for the Elysian Fields, he misjudges his landing and ends up in a decrepit castle full of dirt, mold, bugs, and rats - and the stunningly gorgeous, epically dangerous god of Death, Thanatos.Thanatos has been cursed to remain in the horrid castle until another god lets him out. Hermes, he reasons, is exactly who he needs to gain his freedom, whether Hermes likes it or not, but in escaping, he finds himself literally chained to Hermes.To gain their freedom from one another and the revenge Thanatos seeks for being locked up for centuries on false pretenses, they must confront powerful, often bloodthirsty gods, and possibly incur the wrath of the most powerful creatures in the Universe - The Fates.

Accompanying Gordianus on his travels is his tutor, Antipater of Sidon, the world's most celebrated poet. But there is more to the apparently harmless old poet than meets the eye. Before they leave home, Antipater fakes his own death and travels under an assumed identity. Looming in the background are the first rumblings of a political upheaval that will shake the entire Roman world.
