Cather
Stevens is the many time’s great granddaughter of Thisbe, the original Juliet,
whose determination to be with her true love Pyramus caused a star crossed curse
to be cast over all the women in her family. This curse, created by Zeus, King
of the gods, has lasted for centuries, and has doomed more men than Cather can
count, including her own father, to early graves. Only Cather possesses the
ability to break it, and with the help of Hermes, the Book Keeper and Messenger
of the gods, that is what she intends to do.
But
the gods don’t make anything easy, especially when a mortal dares to challenge
the divine. Soon, Cather finds herself pitted in a race against time against
Athena, the goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy, who will stop at nothing to
prevent Cather and Hermes from reaching their destination: Salem,
Massachusetts, where Peter Ganis, the last living descendant of Pyramus’s
bloodline, lives. Because of his ancestor’s tie to Thisbe, a marriage to Peter
will help Cather end her family’s curse once and for all. But can she love a
mortal boy, or will the shattered pieces of her soul forever belong to Hermes?
Fathoms Above Excerpt
Laura
Holt is from a small Georgia town, where she lives with her daughter. Growing
up as the oldest of three sisters, Laura used her imagination to makeup stories
as a way to escape from the sometimes crazy-making monotony of everyday life.
As she got older, her love of stories grew into a love of books, especially
fantasy, and eventually she began to write her own stories down as well. When
Laura isn’t busy writing or thinking up a new way to promote the Star Crossed
series, she can be found curled up on the couch reading, working out, or
spending time with her daughter. A few of their favorite past times include
watching shows like Merlin on Netflix, shopping, and going treasure hunting.
Laura is also active in the children's ministry at her local church, is
addicted to Pinterest, loves anything chocolate (as long as it doesn't have soy
in it), and is always looking for a new way to get her daily adrenaline fix.
Cather Stevens doesn’t love. Not now, not ever. She
has spent her entire life watching love ruin her mother, her aunts, her
cousins, her grandmother, and she made a vow a long time ago that she would
never let that happen to her. But when she meets a winged boy named Hermes who
tells her that she is the key to ending the star crossed curse that has plagued
the women in her family for centuries, she will have to redefine everything she
knows about love, life, and herself. With more than just her own heart on the
line, she must find the location of her great-great grandmother’s diary. It was
hidden long ago, fathoms below her town, and holds the answers to all of her
questions, especially one: are the fairy tales and Greek myths that she grew up
hearing actually fiction like she was taught to believe, or are they something
more…something real?
