Pagan Passions
'Pagan Passions' Summary
In a contemporary world, the ancient gods of Greece and Rome return with their full powers, transforming society overnight. War and economic instability are eradicated, and prudery becomes a thing of the past. Amidst this upheaval, William Forrester, a teacher devoted to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, encounters Maya Wilson, a student who worships Venus, the goddess of love. Their attraction transcends their differing beliefs, but their forbidden romance faces challenges from both the societal norms shaped by the gods and the watchful eyes of the deities themselves. As their love deepens, William and Maya must confront the consequences of their actions and navigate the complex dynamics between humans and gods, ultimately questioning the nature of power, morality, and the limits of human desire.Book Details
