Love's Destiny — A.L. Jambor

Can we change our destiny? The answer, according to the gods of Rome, is no. Nona spins her wheel and our fates are sealed within the thread that runs through her fingers; Decima measures the thread, determining length of our lives, and when our time on Earth is over, Morta's shears cut the thread sending us to the Elysian Fields. It is as it should be. Until an arrogant, drunken god hurls his trident at a tiny, inhabited island instead of a lifeless rock, causing a cataclysmic crisis on Olympus.



Now that the Pello Islanders have been settled, the goddesses of Mount Olympus are breathing a sigh of relief and seeking other pursuits. Nona, the youngest of the sister goddesses, hears the call of love beckoning her and is eager to follow, but her sisters, Decima and Morta, may not understand and might even try to dissuade her. After seeing an attractive god passing by, Nona decides it's time she follow her heart.



Unbeknown to Nona, Decima has also been following her heart, and it leads her to a stoic river god who awakens a passion in her that thrills and confuses Decima. She, too, keeps her romance a secret, not knowing how her sisters with react.



As Nona and Decima sort out their love lives, Morta is distracted by the reappearance of Antonia, who should have been living out her life on Earth. To add to Morta's conundrum, Mount Olympus is in an upheaval as Jupiter prepares to close the portal between Olympus and Earth, unaware that his decision could end the existence of everyone living on Mount Olympus.
