Till Myth Do Us Part

Myths Come True…Dreams Are Another Story
Heaven is not what Kai imagined. Monsters run free, the sun scorches, and Kai
has everything except his true love, Sophia.
To get her out of the perilous city of Asphodel and into Elysium, Kai makes a
dubious deal with the mortal council that speaks for missing gods.
He must confront a scourge of myths—creatures wrought from the desires of
those unsatisfied with an imperfect afterlife.
Kai is no Hercules, but he is able to speak with so-called monsters spanning
world mythologies to new legends. Yet, no matter what he does, the council
stalls, and he sneaks illegal rendezvous with his love at the fence between
cities.
Caught between duty and love, Kai has to overcome more than myth before
heaven burns and love decays into death.
Inspired by the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, Till Myth Do Us Part
mixes mythologies as people did in history and would appeal to fans of
American Gods and The Bear and the Nightingale.
