The Goddess of the Moon Artemis is adamant in her refusal to give up her freedom. She equates love and relationships with the loss of sovereignty. Yet when Hera schemes to show her that in love she could find a freedom that surpasses anything she has experienced, will the goddess be wise enough to listen to her heart?

Her encounter with Jace reveals desires and feelings that are the same as any mere mortal. The understanding and friendship that flares between them is engaging and will leave readers smiling. However, it is the decision Jace makes and Artemis's subsequent acceptance that will have you marveling at the power of love. Of note in this work is the author's ability to hint at the love and passion building between the characters with just one chaste kiss. Ms. Laurence displays an eloquence that makes Jace's world easy to visualize and their love effortless to experience. A truly enjoyable read.
