Overview

Helena Praetor has grown up with an acute fear of what happens after death now that the world has been flooded by Poseidon. The river Styx has long ago been washed away along with the lives of nearly all gods, titans, and, presumably, the underworld that Hades once controlled. As a blessed child of Circe, Helena was given many magical blessings that would mold her by fate into a heartless predator.

With the use of telepathy, Helena attempts to follow animals at first across the threshold of death. As she grows older and stronger with her gifts, her pleasure and needs for a larger game scale with her, along with frustration. Once realizing her life has been spent in pursuit of death, Helena pushes the limits of sanity with her undying need for pain to live.

This tale serves as a prequel to the events of Odyssey of the Scarlet Rose: Book One, adding many insights into the government players and corruption within. When everything is boiled down, everyone has their own odyssey to overcome.
