Hekate

The Witch

Narrado por: Nikita Gill

In this stunning reimagining of Greek myth for fans of Circe and Lore, Nikita Gill showcases the underworld and its chthonic deities in all their glory, weaving a gripping story about the young goddess coming of age within their midst.

Hekate sings the story of its eponymous heroine. Born into a world on fire and at war, she and her mother are left behind by the menfolk of their Titan family as the battle against the new Gods–the Olympians–begins. Soon, Hekate and her mother are forced to flee their home as the Olympians overpower and enslave the Titans, including Hekate’s father, Perses, and gain dominion over the universe. In a bid to protect Hekate from the clutches of Zeus and Poseidon, her mother leaves her in the underworld with the goddess Styx and king of the underworld, Hades, where she must make a life for herself and discover her divine purpose.

Here begins Nikita Gill’s beautiful and propulsive reimagining of Hekate’s myth which unfolds into a coming-of-age adventure story and quest in which our young protagonist – not yet a goddess – sets out to discover what has happened to her parents, heal from the trauma of her separation from them, make a new home for herself in the underworld, and, eventually, step into her true power as a woman and goddess, before it’s too late.

Tight narrative

Lively, quick moving story with fascinating worlds and encounters. Doesn’t get bogged down in minutiae.

The Narration was excellent!

Hekate the Witch is powerful, tender, and fiercely honest. Nikita Gill writes Hekate not as something to fear, but as something to remember—our intuition, our rage, our softness, our strength. Every poem feels like a torch held up in the dark, reminding women of who they’ve always been. This book didn’t just resonate with me—it awakened something ancient and deeply familiar

poetic

this was a beautiful retelling. Wonderful narration and left me wanting more from the author.

Officially one of my all time favorites!

Hekate the Witch has beautiful descriptions that truly transport you into the story. You can feel the hatred, love, and sorrow with Hekate. I love that it keeps to many great stories, yet the author isn't afraid of filling with her own imagination as well. It's truly an amazing blend!
