The Dozen Damsels: A Retelling of The 12 Labors of Hercules & The 12 Dancing Princesses
Hercules meets the 12 Dancing Princesses
When Hawthorne’s half-brother successfully traps him in a crime, the only way he can repay his debts is by performing a task given to him by the great queen of Olympia. All he has to do is locate the twelve runaway daughters of a wicked prisoner. It should be simple enough, except that he has no clues to find them other than an abandoned cloak.
Trinity always knew her father’s crimes would catch up with her and her sisters, but when the day finally came that Queen Helena tracked them down, it was far more difficult to escape than she had hoped. Her sisters are innocent, but their father refuses to let them run free. In a final attempt to spare himself from punishment, he places a divine curse on his children, binding his soul to theirs and successfully shackling their fates together.
With their father imprisoned, their shared curse traps each sister in a soul-binding cage. Trinity’s divine gift that allows her to communicate with three minds at once helps keep them connected, but she’ll need to reach out to someone who isn’t confined if they’re ever going to be free. Can Hawthorne save a dozen damsels? Or are all twelve souls forever lost?
