But the price of proving she was more operative than heiress might be more than she ever expected to pay.

But I’m not lonely. Not exactly. I have my mom. She’s my rock, my best friend, my partner. She helps me do what needs to be done, and she’s never afraid when it feels like I’m always afraid. Because I hear my father whispering my name each night, his taunts echoing through the spiritual realm. He’s hunting me, and I know the day will come when I must face him again.Every portal I open could be the one that finally pulls me back to Hell, and I wonder if I will brave enough, strong enough, good enough to fight him.My name is Samantha Catherine Lopez, and I am Nephilim.

by Patrice MartinezEsposa de um homem de guerra da Messínia, Iphigénia sofria de uma vida conjugal sujeita às restrições do exercício, este exercício marcial onde o deus Ares é glorificado pelo cavalheiro militar. O seu marido, o estratega Filippos, estava avidamente envolvido neste jogo de guerra em que o deus Ares aprovava a fúria da batalha... Mas o invasor de Esparta aproximava-se do bastião do Monte Ithome, e o estratega partiu para reforçar o exército Messiânico, deixando a sua esposa aos cuidados de Héstia, a deusa do lar. Os dias passaram, testando o coração e o corpo de uma esposa amorosa; o que aconteceu ao seu marido? Teria ele sucumbido à agressão do primo lacedemoniano, cuja amarga luxúria pelas terras do Monte Ithome foi um feito de armas? Durante aqueles tempos difíceis, a chama conjugal já não iluminava o coração daquele homem, cego pelas setas de um novo Eros... O que seria da sua casa, quando Iphigénia recebeu do seu marido aquela dolorosa carta, na qual Filippos declarou a sua intenção de a deixar? ...
