The Crossroads Compass
Margot Hollis
Love transcends realms. Drama follows gods everywhere.
When I flipped off my CEO and went viral, a trip to Greece was supposed to help me find myself. I never expected to find a god instead.
I’m Thalia Moretti, and my life was perfectly mundane until I met Asher—a mysterious stranger with killer looks and an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Greek history. Our whirlwind romance across the islands feels too good to be true.
Turns out, it is.
Asher isn’t just devastatingly charming—he’s Hermes, the immortal messenger god moonlighting as a world-famous rock star. And that antique compass I bought on impulse? It’s a divine artifact that every power-hungry minor god wants to get their hands on.
Now I’m caught between jealous ex-goddesses, mythological conspiracies, and my own awakening powers as we race to rally the scattered gods of Olympus. Because when divine politics threaten both worlds, apparently a sarcastic social media manager from Brooklyn is exactly what the universe ordered.
Sometimes the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself completely—preferably with a god who looks incredible in tight jeans.
The Crossroads Compass is “Mamma Mia!” meets Greek mythology with a rock star god romance.
