A Quest for Victory: A Bellerophon and Pegasus Retelling - Paperback

by Britt Richards (Author)

A curse, a quest, and an unlikely partnership...

Freed from the protective void when Medusa is slain, Nike is surprised and horrified to find herself no longer a goddess, but a winged horse. Hearing the cries of what she thinks to be a wild animal, Artemis stumbles upon a distraught Nike. Sending Nike off with a sacred kiss and the new name of Pegasus, Artemis tells her the curse will only be lifted once the son of Poseidon, Bellerophon, completes his quest to clear his name from a grave misunderstanding, and Nike herself learns true courage.

Taking down man-eating creatures of legend can't be that hard when you have the literal goddess of victory on your side... can it?

"A Quest for Victory," a retelling of Bellerophon and Pegasus, is a no-spice novella that includes tropes like reluctant allies to best friends to something more, she falls first, he literally falls, and monster vanquishing. It is part of the "Lives of Legends" series, a collection of twelve retellings of Greek myths where the tragedies become happily ever afters. Each is a standalone novella written by a different author, so they can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the Human Coalition to provide for mothers facing crisis pregnancies.
