Synopsis

To stave off a war with the Underworld and protect his people from extinction, Theron-descendant of Hercules-has to find the woman who fulfills an ancient prophesy. Only how can he turn her over for sacrifice when losing her would mean losing his heart?


Publishers Weekly

Conniving Greek gods, horrifying demons, vengeful warriors, and true love clash in this sexy, fast-paced paranormal romance series launch. Cocktail waitress and bookseller Casey Simopolous leads a lonely life until the night she rescues a mysterious man from a pack of hideous monsters. The handsome stranger is the Argonaut Theron, a guardian of a realm inhabited by the descendants of Greek demigods, and Casey soon finds herself thrown into a dangerous romance amid secrets and prophecies that may hold the key to her own mysterious past and the salvation of Theron's besieged race. Naughton (Stolen Fury) occasionally stumbles in her narration, but she has a tremendous skill with steamy passion, dynamic characterization—especially of strong, multifaceted women whose friendships and family relationships play a crucial part in the story—and thrilling action. (May)

just an FYI to anyone looking at this: appears to be in the romance genre

Thanks for the heads up.

I thought B&N sold epubs? When I tried to download it, I got a pdb file.

From the description of this book, it does indeed sound awful.

Diana - you have to go to your library from the B&N website and download from there, not into the Barnes and Noble desktop app or anything. If you do that you'll get an Epub file.

And if your looking to put it on a different device you can't unlock it with the standard Inept script, you'll have to use the Barnes and Noble specific script.

Thank you!

When I tried to download it onto my Mac it was a pdb file, but when I tried it on my brother's Windows laptop, I got the Epub file. So, apparently the Epub file is only for Windows users, which sucks for me.

I'm glad I found this out before I bought the nook.

Why? The nook will read either format.

It's just a personal preference, I prefer epubs. In my experience, the pdb files that I do have, never convert correctly.

Plus, comparing the Windows B&N software to the Mac B&N software (which is basically the Ereader app with a B&N logo stuck on it, there isn't even a sync feature with the website library), the Mac support is totally half-assed. I was planning on buying the nook Wi-fi, but the more research I do, the more it looks like B&N has no interest in supporting Mac.
