2 books50 followersJade Bowman is the author of Into Olympus, the first in the Olympus series.
A life long storyteller and chronic procrastinator, she finally began writing during the Covid pandemic and hasn't really stopped since, splitting her time between writing, researching and paying attention to her two demanding dogs.
The Olympus series was inspired by her love of mythology and her time spent living in Greece, imagining each little crack or crevice led to the underworld, or each storm was Zeus having a tantrum somewhere in the world.

FANTASY READERS!! And lovers of Greek mythology! And readers who would like to dip their toes into the fantasy/greek mythology genre- READ. THIS. BOOK. I absolutely loved this novel by Jade Bowman! I’m a big fan of Greek mythology and the many interesting tales of Greek gods and goddesses. This author did such a fantastic job of creating a strong, unique female lead character named Selene and interwove the well-known Greek legends throughout her adventure. Selene faces adversity and must find herself by facing her fears and overcoming obstacles in her way. The book was well-paced and kept my interest throughout. Also to note, Into Olympus is book one of a series. Definitely looking forward to the next book!

Jade Bowman’s Into Olympus is a bold, thrilling entry into the world of modern myth-inspired fantasy. With shades of epic adventure, heart-racing romance, and Greek mythology woven into every page, this series opener introduces readers to Selene, a mortal caught in the crosshairs of gods, curses, and monsters.
Bowman writes with cinematic energy, blending action-packed battles and high-stakes tension with quieter, emotional moments that let Selene’s humanity shine through. The curse driving the story feels both dangerous and mysterious, pulling the reader deeper into a world where the line between fate and free will blurs. The son of Dionysos adds both danger and allure, fueling a romantic subplot that intensifies the already electrifying atmosphere.
Fans of dark mythology retellings, morally complex gods, and heroines forced to find their strength will be hooked from the first page. Bowman doesn’t shy away from danger, blood, or heartbreak, making this a story as ruthless as the gods themselves, but also one laced with hope, resilience, and sparks of love.
Into Olympus is perfect for readers of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair, and Madeline Miller, those who crave a mix of romance, peril, and myth. A gripping, addictive start to what promises to be a truly unforgettable series.
