About this listen
The Muses narrated Hercules’s story. Now, they’ll narrate their own "gospel truth."
Living in a quiet seaside village with their overprotective mother, teenaged sisters Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore, and Thalia are talented performers with no audience. If Calli had her way, she'd pursue her dream of writing epic stories in the city of Thebes. But family comes first, and as the eldest, she'd never leave her beloved sisters behind.
Then, following a disastrous public music performance, their mother reveals a shocking secret: she is Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memory, and for nearly two decades, she’s been on the run from the gods of Mount Olympus, desperate to keep her daughters safe from their machinations. Before she can share more, she is kidnapped . . . and though the girls don’t know it yet, the villain pulling the strings is none other than Hades, fiery God of the Underworld.
Under Calli’s leadership, the sisters embark on a journey to save their mother and to learn more about their own divine origins. But the path ahead is filled with mythical trials and tribulations, and they’ll need to rely on both their individual talents and the strength of their sisterhood to ensure that they ascend from "zeroes" to "heroes"--or more accurately, heroines.
Penned by New York Times bestselling author Farrah Rochon, this YA fantasy uniquely blends a twist on a Disney classic with a fresh take on Greek mythology.
Critic reviews
“A thrilling and heartfelt adventure that you won’t want to see end. Bemused is truly an utterly gripping delight.”
—Charlene Thomas, author of Streetlight People and Seton Girls
“A thrilling quest through real and metaphorical mazes, obstacles, and trials.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Rochon, who has two books in the Twisted Tale series, is no stranger to adding flavor to background Disney characters. This predecessor to Hercules should be a hit for any fan of fairy tale adaptations.”
