The goddess of love is on the run...
In the Other, the Greek gods and goddesses are trapped by magic to relive out their myths in newer, more modern incarnations. For centuries, people find their way to this fantastical world, only to follow a script from an ancient time... until the reborn Artemis changed everything.Now Vanessa has found the same mirror that brought Noelle to the Other...
Vanessa
I always told myself that I would get out when I finally had enough. After four years of an emotionally abusive relationship, I was beginning to think that I'd let him control me forever. Besides, he only ever got violent once before. And I believed him when he swore he didn’t mean it.
Then came the night when he… he snapped. In a haze of fury, he attacked me with a knife and I finally found the strength to fight back. Leaving him for dead, I grabbed my keys and ran.
I've been running ever since.
He found me, just like I knew he would—because I didn’t kill him, though I know he’ll kill me the second he gets the chance. He found me, and there was nowhere left to run—so, instead, I jumped. Through an antique mirror and into a world I never even dreamed existed.
I ran right into the biggest, baddest man I'd ever seen.
And, for the first time in years, I’m safe.
Hephaestus
They told me she would come. I told them I didn't care.
I lied. Oh, did I lie.
The story always ends the same. It doesn't matter that she is lost and lonely, quiet and scared—scarred. She's not meant to be mine. My beauty, my Aphrodite, could never love a monster like me.
Troy
Vanessa is mine. And I will move Heaven or Earth—or jump into a whole other world—to bring her back home where she belongs.
So what if she’s the one who ran away? Or that she’s found some big shot to take care of her in the time since she’s been gone? I’ll get her back.
Even if we have to go to war.
*Chase the Beauty is the sixth entry in the Mirrorside series. It’s a twist on the myths featuring both Aphrodite/Hephaestus & Aphrodite/Ares, with a goddess of love who doesn’t believe in the stuff and the gentle giant Hef getting the HEA he’s long been denied.
