A Goddess by Many Other Names reimagines one of mythology’s most feared figures as an immortal woman who navigates power, punishment, and survival across eras. Once revered as a goddess, Lamia is transformed into a monster when shifts in divine and human authority deem her autonomy dangerous. As civilizations rise and fall, her legend is rewritten and weaponized to justify fear, control, and erasure. But immortality grants Lamia something her enemies memory. Moving through ancient and emerging worlds, Lamia confronts rival gods, moral orders that demand her obedience, and the cost of surviving long enough to see truth become myth. Her story is not one of redemption but of endurance—of choosing when to hide, when to resist, and when to reclaim the narrative written about her. Blending epic mythology with modern urgency, Lamia is a prestige mythic fantasy designed for readers who want character-driven stories with bite, scope, and consequence. Think The Witcher meets Circe, with a modern bite.
This really feels like a good friend talking to you about her life story. The funny and the truly ugly parts. I liked the different point of view about gods and Lamia.
