Megara
We all know the
story.
How it ended.
He survived and
conquered each task.
Became the hero
of all heroes.
And in the end
he became a legend.
What no one told
you is that I was there. I was helping him . . . and when he ascended, I was
left behind to rot.
Herakles never
knew I sold my soul for his success—he didn’t need to. Had I been enough on my
own, he would’ve chosen to stay.
Instead, he rose
to full glory.
I was dragged
straight to Hades.
Beaten.
Violated.
Broken.
Eventually,
mutated.
I lost track of
him for nearly three millennia, but I’ve found him.
I will kill him.
He chose to
become a god; I was forced to become a nightmare.
Now it’s time
for us to meet again.
Herakles
I abandoned my
family mere moments before the Greek pantheon fell.
‘Till this day
the whispers accuse me.
Had I been
there, perhaps they could’ve been saved.
But I no longer
gave a fuck.
Funny how vanity
can blind a male to what really matters.
It took less
than a year on Olympus before I began searching for her again.
I never found
her.
Now,
two-in-a-half-thousand years later, here I am.
Alone.
Empty.
An immortal
ghost, simply getting by.
I should’ve
never left her.
The only thing I
had was hoping the last of her mortal days, wherever she ended up, were happy .
. .
Joke’s on me.
A darkened,
twisted version of my female returns, demanding my head for every one of my
sins.
And she shall
have it.
But first, I’m
saving her from her curse.
I’ll sacrifice
every ounce of my sanity left to free her . . . right before I let her end me
once and for all.
A fantastic
retelling and spin on a Greek mythology classic. Dark, dirty, gripping and very
original.
This is my first book by Ms. Blanco, and it will not be my last. I
have read many re-workings of classics and this one can definitely stand on its
own. I thoroughly enjoyed every page. From the sacrificing of her soul to the
romance, it kept me entertained and enthralled. Dark, gripping, and even
sadistic....it will keep you on your toes! One thing is for certain...this tale
is aptly named Sacrifice!! I will now have to make sure to read the rest of the
anthology. If Sacrifice is anything to go by, then I know that I’m in for a
really dark and scrumptious treat!

N. Isabelle
Blanco is the Amazon Bestselling Author of the Allure Series, the Need Series
with K.I. Lynn, and many others. At the age of three, due to an odd fascination
with studying her mother’s handwriting, she began to read and write. By the
time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an extensive vocabulary and her
obsession with words began to bleed into every aspect of her life.
That is, until
coffee came along and took over everything else.
Nowadays, N.
spends most of her days surviving the crazy New York rush and arguing with her
characters every ten minutes or so, all in the hopes of one day getting them
under control.
