Athena Legend Retold, by Chris Hamilton-Moore

In a world fractured by a cataclysmic event, Athena navigates a divided society: one of opulence for the elite and destitution for the rest. Yet beneath this divide lies another layer of discrimination — the Evo’s, humans evolved into half-human, half-animal hybrids, hunted for their existence.

Named after the Greek goddess, Athena is one such Evo, hidden away by her father in a desperate bid for survival. But secrecy only breeds loneliness, and as Athena grows, she finds herself thrust into a new world by the enigmatic Dr. Trojas. Struggling to fit in among the privileged, Athena conceals her true nature, yearning for acceptance.

But fate has other plans. Through chance encounters, Athena discovers others like her, sparking a journey of self-discovery and rebellion. As alliances form and betrayals unfold, Athena faces the ultimate choice: conform to society’s expectations or embrace her identity and fight for her people.

From the shadows of oppression, Athena emerges as a beacon of hope, leading her fellow Evo’s on a quest for freedom. Amidst adversity and sacrifice, she uncovers the truth behind her origins and confronts the injustices of her world.

In a gripping tale of resilience and revolution, Athena rises from obscurity to become a legend in her own right, shaping a new destiny for her people in a world torn asunder.
