Soul Echoes Book 3
Of Gods and Vengeance by Kelley Heckart
Unravel the threads of fate.
It is written in blood.
One of Her kind will betray Her.
In a world where mortals are at the whims of the capricious gods, a prophecy foretells treachery committed by one of their own, leading to the inevitable downfall of the once-mighty Titans. The Great Goddess Rhea, seeking retribution, dispatches Her vengeance goddess, Becuille, to the land of Hatti. She is charged with the daunting task of uncovering the origins of star metal, a substance fatal to the old gods, and finding the enigmatic Destroyer.
Disguised as a human slave in the royal palace, Becuille finds herself entwined with her master, Prince Callileon, plunging both into a treacherous world of power-hungry gods, formidable magic, and widespread betrayal. As tension mounts and loyalties are tested, Becuille faces an impossible choice between duty to her goddess and the stirrings of forbidden love for Callileon.
Warning: Of Gods and Vengeance is a Greek tragedy featuring star-crossed lovers set in an era where slavery and human and animal sacrifice were commonplace.

“I write strong female heroines because I never wanted to be a helpless princess waiting for a prince to save me. I wanted to be able to save myself.”
With nearly 20 years of writing and editing experience, Kelley Heckart’s writing focus is steamy paranormal romance and historical fantasy novels. The author of 15 full-length novels, Kelley cleverly plays on the page using supernatural elements throughout ancient, medieval, and contemporary timelines.
