An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here. Origin of the Sphinx is a prequel novella in the Curse of the Sphinx series. In Ancient Greece, the invocation "May the Gods watch over you" was more than a spoken blessing. It was an entreaty for divine benevolence. Phoibe, daughter of Hera, is content. Raised by her aunt, her life is quiet, filled with milling grain and spinning wool. But after her Hestia celebration, Eros, god of love, visits the small town of Belen. And now Phoibe will have to choose—If she marries a mortal, she risks eternal solitude for a moment of love. If she follows her heart, she risks spurning a god. The gods are enormously powerful, but they don’t fix problems. They make bigger ones. Uncover the curse. . .
