Words have power. Prophecies have consequences. Some stories are destined to come true.

Bestselling novelist Calliope Demos has always had an uncanny ability to weave compelling narratives that captivate readers worldwide. But when mysterious manuscripts begin appearing on her doorstep—manuscripts that predict catastrophic events with chilling accuracy—she realizes her connection to storytelling runs deeper than talent alone.

Each text arrives written in an ancient script only she can decipher, each one foretelling a disaster that unfolds exactly as described. As the predictions grow increasingly apocalyptic, Calliope abandons her peaceful life in a small Greek coastal town to track down the source of these prophetic writings.

Her journey leads her through labyrinthine libraries housing forbidden texts, to archaeological sites where history and myth blur, and into the orbit of shadowy figures who have been manipulating world events for centuries. At the center of it all: The Order of the Titans, the same organization her sister Melpomene confronted in New York—now extending their reach across continents.

As Calliope delves deeper into the mystery, she begins experiencing vivid visions of ancient times and discovers the truth of her divine heritage: she is the modern incarnation of Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry, gifted with the power to shape reality through words. But with this awakening comes a terrible revelation—an ancient prophecy describing the end of humanity has begun to unfold, and her own writings may be the key to either stopping or accelerating the cataclysm.

Racing against time and pursued by those who would use her gifts for their own ends, Calliope must decipher a centuries-old puzzle that spans the boundary between myth and reality. The manuscripts' origins hold the secret to the gods' return—and perhaps, to humanity's salvation.

Perfect for fans of Dan Brown's historical mysteries, Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy, and readers who love mind-bending puzzles with mythological elements. This second installment in the Daughters of Zeus Series deepens the conspiracy while introducing another powerful sister to the battle against ancient forces.

THE PROPHECY SCROLL continues the thrilling saga begun in MELPOMENE, where the line between author and story, creator and creation, becomes increasingly blurred—and the price of truth may be extinction itself.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Daughters of Zeus Series by Avarin Voss is an, myth-infused thriller saga that reimagines the Greek Muses as nine modern women uncovering their divine origins while facing off against a powerful secret society—The Order of the Titans. Each book follows a different sister—investigative journalists, novelists, dancers, scientists, and mystics—each pulled into a deadly mystery tied to a global conspiracy to resurrect the ancient gods. As secrets unravel, prophecies ignite, and divine powers stir, the Muses must race against time to uncover the truth and decide whether to embrace or defy their destinies.

From New York’s elite art scene to hidden temples, ancient ruins, and underground cults, this cinematic series blends thriller, sci-fi, and mythology in a high-stakes battle between fate, power, and sisterhood. Perfect for fans of mythology thrillers, urban fantasy, and complex heroines with supernatural gifts.

Meet the Author

Avarin Voss writes urban fantasy where ancient myths collide with modern danger, and love becomes the most powerful magic of all.

Specializing in reimagined mythology and romantic thrillers, Avarin crafts stories featuring fierce heroines who discover their divine heritage while navigating conspiracies, prophecies, and impossible choices. Her novels blend Greek mythology, high-stakes adventure, and swoon-worthy romance, creating worlds where the emotional stakes match the magical threats.

Passionate about centering strong, complex women in her narratives, Avarin explores how love and loyalty can flourish even in the most turbulent circumstances. She believes romance isn't a distraction from the plot—it's the heart of it, driving character growth, moral complexity, and the kind of emotional payoff that keeps readers turning pages long past midnight.

When she's not sending her characters on globe-trotting adventures or making them fall in love while fighting ancient cults, Avarin can be found researching obscure mythology, visiting archaeological sites, and plotting the next book in her ever-expanding universe of interconnected heroines.

The Daughters of Zeus Series is her love letter to readers who want it all: smart heroines, competent heroes, mythology that feels fresh and dangerous, and romance that makes you believe in fate—and free will.
