Callista Vellis is beautiful, warm, and impossible to look away from—the kind of woman men forget how to be careful around. Grief should have broken her. Instead, it woke something older. Something inherited. Something that has slept in the women of her family for generations, waiting for its moment to rise. She doesn’t hunt in shadows. She hunts in plain sight—at hospital bedsides, across crowded bars, behind the warmest smile in the room. Unfaithful men vanish one by one, and what's left behind carries a message only she understands. Ray steps back from the hunt, forced to confront ...

The Summoner seeks this nectar, one of three keys to his dark design. With time slipping away, the Monsterbanes must outpace the Summoner to seize the Nectar from the Breeder's grasp atop Mount Olympus.

Combining the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle with the art, archaeology, and history of Ancient Olympia, this short book offers ancient Greek insight on the nature of sport, athletes, and human excellence, as well as the less-expected topics of women, beauty, fairness, and peace.

Ancient Greece gave the world democracy, philosophy, theater, medicine, and some of history’s most impressive architecture.
