The Shield of Nike: A War on the Gods Companion Story

Angebote / Angebote:

Gods. Monsters. Magic. Greek mythology like you've never seen it before. Valeria is in love with her best friend, Greg, and has been for years. But they can't be together, because after they graduate high school they'll be on opposite sides of the country. This seems to be Valeria's greatest dilemma--until a freak storm ambushes the two on a hike a few miles outside their town. During the storm, Greg is injured, and a strange shield falls from the sky and knocks Valeria unconscious. When she wakes up, her whole world is turned upside down. Greg is missing, her town has been annihilated, deadly creatures roam, and the disembodied voice of a woman she knows nothing of talks to her from inside her own head. The woman says Greg has been taken, but that Valeria can save him and survive the perils awaiting her if she harnesses the "gifts" she was given at birth, and if she uses the shield that fell from the sky. But how can Valeria trust a woman she's never met? She'll have to rely on herself and face horrors she could never have imagined to save her best friend. And, in the process, discover her true identity. "The Shield of Nike" is a short story that acts as the first-in-series for War on the Gods Companion Stories, which is a prequel companion series to the War on the Gods trilogy. However, War on the Gods Companion Stories can be read before, during, or after you read War on the Gods! Praise for The Shield of Nike: "A quick read that speeds along with page after page of action and the magic of mythology!" --Dianne at Tome Tender, ¿¿¿¿¿ "This is a quick, fun read! I loved Valeria's sarcastic, funny attitude that made her character come alive! The imagery was fantastic and I could fully envision every detail. This tale was extremely fast paced and exciting. I am impressed at the quality of writing and plot development for such a short tale." --Julia at Pages for Thoughts, ¿¿¿¿ "From the beginning, I was swept into the story and was eager to continue reading. A bit of Greek mythology, together with an end-of-the-world theme and a touch of zombie fever, made this a good read." --Karen at Goodreads, ¿¿¿¿ "Valeria reminds me of Percy Jackson because of the way she reacts to things. Humor? Ding! Hilarious comebacks? Ding Ding! Not knowing what she is doing but doing it anyway? Ding ding ding! I just love Valeria in general so when I reached the end of the book in less than 20 mins, I was upset because I wanted to know more about Valeria and Greg. I do hope this gets a sequel because I feel like there are still loose ends . . . A.P Mobley has taken the crown and is now my favorite indie author of all time! Yes, you read that right and yes, you can quote me on that!" --P.G Guacamole at Goodreads, ¿¿¿¿ "This short prequel only made me crave more! Each paragraph is delicately cultured and so coated with word-ambrosia, listening was like music to my ears." --Carla at Audible, ¿¿¿¿¿ Want to immerse yourself in a fast-paced YA post-apocalyptic fantasy series inspired by mythology? One filled with gods, monsters, and magic? Then get "The Shield of Nike" and start reading!
