The Accidental Hero

THE ACCIDENTAL HERO

​

An unbreakable oath.

A vengeful god.

A fate worse than death.

 

Greek goddess Athena resides in Athens, trapped in a feline body after a disastrous magical transformation.

 

Athena is visited by Norse deity Odin – also in cat form – who warns her that his brother Loki has a network of spies seeking to steal artefacts for global domination.

 

When one of Odin’s agents—a homicidal dwarf named Haldred—is tasked with stealing a mysterious painting from a fortified monastery in central Greece, Athena recruits a spy of her own: a feral cat she calls Agent 73.

 

Haldred liberates the painting, tracked by Agent 73, but it falls into the hands of the shadowy Collector, who makes an astonishing discovery which explains why Odin was so desperate to acquire it.

 

But, thanks to Agent 73, Athena is watching, and realises the painting could hold the key to restoring her original form, and give her ultimate power over the immortal world.

 

 

THE ACCIDENTAL HERO continues Andrew Rylands’s wildly inventive The Reawakening series. A pacy, continent-spanning mythological fantasy that will make you realise that gods – or cats – don’t always have it all their own way.
