Beginning a generation before Hekate, Styx sings the story of the goddess of the underworld river that bears her name.
The firstborn child of Titans, Styx is revered as the first of her kind—until she is eclipsed and forgotten amid her scores of siblings, the Oceanids and the Potamoi.Coming of age in a world simmering with paranoia and unspoken fear of Zeus, Styx learns to conceal the rage ignited by her growing disillusionment with her parents and her vain and unkind siblings.
Instead, she finds solace and sisterhood in her cousin, Asteria. Together, they train in the arts of creation and magic. And as they seek to learn their divine purpose and their place within the Titanomachy, they discover both the joy sparked by true love and the fierce resilience birthed from motherhood.
In this lyrical and heartrending tale of sisterhood, identity, love, and war, Styx must carve her own path to womanhood—and ultimately, godhood.

Born from darkness at the dawn of creation, Nyx was feared by her own mother and cast to the edge of the universe. While Kaos builds worlds of light, Nyx shapes black holes, shadows and death itself. Her only solace is her bond with her sister Gaia, until pride tears them apart.
Retreating into the depths of the earth, Nyx forges the Underworld, building a realm ruled solely by her will. But when the rise of the Olympians threatens her children, she is forced back into the divine arena she had previously abandoned.
As Zeus tightens his grip on the cosmos, Nyx draws an army of ancient gods and horrors long forgotten, and a final war looms—one that will pit darkness against light, mother against child, and threatens to unmake the universe itself…
In this stunningly intimate reimagining of a Greek myth, internationally renowned poet Nikita Gill showcases the underworld and its chthonic deities in all their glory, and weaves a gripping story about the Goddess Nyx overcoming solitude and redefining her purpose.
