Athena - Of The Abandoned

After the War of the Gods, Athena found herself a goddess without followers. Traversing the spirit world, she defends those who are lost between life and death.

When she meets a young girl, Cordelia, Athena realizes that there is something special about her. Listening to her story gives her a renewed sense of purpose. There is wisdom in justice, and Athena will not abandon her cause simply because her followers have abandoned her.

Along with her owl, Glaukopis, Athena aligns herself with Thanatos: the spirit of death. Exploring the aether and battling horrors which no living mind could withstand, they discover that something is wrong, and needs to be made right, even if it will cost her everything.

Darkness flees from the light. Lies are exposed in the truth. Death cannot stand against life - Athena will make sure of it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jonny Capps is just this guy, and most sources can at least agree on that.  According to some, he was abandoned by his human parents at a young age, left alone in Death Valley, California.  Here, he was spotted by a family of coyotes, and they took pity on him, raising him as one of their own, until he came of age and was able to integrate himself into human society.  Still others say that his origins are much more complicated.  "The Time after Oblivion", being the beginning of the Mythos Cycle, is his first novel.
