Award-winning Historical Fantasy! A compelling tale weaving myth, history, and romance as a shipwrecked young woman discovers her destiny...

Rejected by her father and yet determined to be her mother’s daughter, Eva takes on the tragic destiny of her namesake: the mythological Arethusa.

Shipwrecked on foreign shores, Eva finds herself torn between the dark and dangerous shipowner's son and the kind-hearted orphan boy who rescues her.

Faced with an impossible choice, Eva must heed the troubling warnings of her goddess-touched visions before her fated destiny destroys them all.

Set against the lush backdrop of 1890s Azores Islands, this Historical Fantasy Romance won First Place in the Chanticleer Cygnus Awards and was a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Recent Reviews
"I was entranced by the story. I was heartbroken, frightened, on the edge of my seat, and I felt all of the anger, fear, irritation and love right along with Arethusa. And I may have fallen a little bit in love with Tristao. :) I would recommend this to a friend, and in fact, I have." - Jennifer Seidler, Author of Dry Land
"Cheri Lasota has written a spell-binding historical fantasy about young, passionate love, skillfully tying it in with historical myths such as Tristan and Isolde and Arethusa and Alpheus. Although the novel is written for young adults, the story has a great deal of depth and is more than adequate for adults. It is a coming of age novel about self-discovery, about one's true faith, and of triumph. A compelling read and highly recommended." - History and Women, Reviewer

Nocturnus

To Myth Or Not To Myth

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2016

•••I listened to the Audible Audio Edition of this book•••

This is a stand alone novel. I wish there were more!

Listening to this book was an amazing experience! The narrator has an incredibly expressive voice and is extremely talented at voice acting. I felt like I WAS Eva and not just witness to her trials and tribations. I would definitely both listen to more work by this amazing narrator and read or listen to more books by this inventive and talented author! I hope they work together again in the future as they do so well together :)

Eva has been raised to dedicate herself to Artemis as Arethusa just as her mother did before her. To become the myth personified in service to the Moon. The Goddess sends her a warning though her mother received a different vision. Which is the true vision? Should she continue on the path her mother laid before her or follow her instincts and find her own way? Is the way of the Goddess the right way? Does she even have a choice anymore?

Diogo is rich and spoiled and used to getting everything he wants. Except from his cruel and forbidding father. Eva intrigues him and he wants her for his own. At first he is merely trying to protect her. To woo her. But after he is maimed in her defense by his father something overtakes him. She becomes his obsession. Will he win? Will he own her in the end? Or will his twisted drives destroy them both?

Tristao has never know a father's love or a mother's kindness. He sees something in Arethusa that he has been waiting for his whole life... Hope. Finding her and rescuing her seems to be Fate. Is she the answer to his prayers? The girl who will share his life and give him the love he missed as a child? Will she help him get rid of his anger at his father's disinterest and abandonment? At the mysterious absence of his mother. Will she make him into something other than the favored oldest orphan?

***This book is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy stories of the Old Gods filled with mystery, intrigue, Myth, action, adventure, supernatural forces, magic, mayhem and horror but, most of all, romance and the search for truth and true love despite Destiny or Fate :)

Myth-based but more romance than fantasy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2015

At first, I didn't think this story subject matter and character "crisis" would appeal to me. In the end, the excellent writing and eventual character growth won me over. The novel get 4.4 out of five stars from me.
The idea of a myth completely dominating the choices a person makes rubbed me the wrong way. Even in the historical setting, I felt it was far-fetched to think a girl would base her life around a myth her mother told her. Also, why wouldn't you choose a happier myth if you were going to chain your child to a preconceived destiny?
At first, I thought this was going to be too much about religious superstition, but a couple characters redeemed that angle of the story.
I felt that Tristao (Tristan) carried the story. He was an admirable character even though he was an orphan who had been raised with no expectation of a future. Eva (Arethusa) was too easily pulled into the myth of her mother's beliefs. She didn't have a mind of her own, except to fight the so-called "destiny" she was willing to admit came with her identity. Then why fight it? That angle made very little sense to me. It made her seem contradictory.
The story was well-paced. The various "dream" or "vision" segments always confused me and threw me out of the make-believe world. It wasn't obvious until the end that they happened solely inside her mind. Since Alpheus showed up unexpectedly to chase her in her waking life, I always wondered if this was a vision or really happening.
By the 75 percent mark, I wanted to read on to finish the story. It wrapped up rather quickly, but still satisfied most of the questions. I will read more by this author. Her writing was captivating.

Brilliantly written retelling of familiar mythologies, not as much action as my usual favorites

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

This story took me longer to read than some others have recently, which is a really good thing. It held my interest well, the characters were great and well-developed. The villains were really villains, the good guys were really good guys. The folks who were fooled by the villains were the ones you'd expect to be fooled by them for the reasons you'd expect because of social conventions. What makes this version of a familiar tale stand out is the mixture of the different mythologies brought together in one place in the same set of characters. It is a clever and well-crafted blending of three different tales into one story that ends up making sense in a way you might not expect, especially given the original tales' nature. A very fresh take on all of them that was an enjoyable read for me, though it is not my favorite action-packed type of story (that's why the four instead of five stars- personal preference comes into play- if I could give her 4.5 stars to indicate that I give her 5 for technical prowess, I would! She is a stylistically brilliant writer!) All in all I'd recommend it to almost anyone except those most completely against anything that involves anything romantic. This wasn't at all what I call unrealistic after the mode of today's popular "romance" novels, thus I could actually read it as it was not the entire reason for the book's story!
