    This is the preface for the rough draft of the book I am writing. It is a story of love and loss, of honor and sacrifice, gods and monsters. The Three Gifts is the sequel to Beauty In Itself. The Omega Series is Greek Mythology rewritten, among many other divine factions. It is the gods like you have never seen them before as they fight for the good of the mortals and gods alike, fighting for love. But not all the immortals are pure souls. The Nameless One is Zeus's birth father, Cronus is the immortal who raised the king of the gods after his sister Theia spirited her son away from her husband. Zeus grew into a great and powerful god and overthrew his father. He is called the Nameless One because his crimes were so great his name was destroyed as punishment while he was locked away in Tartarus. However, a thousand years ago, the Nameless One escaped the Underworld by unknown means and has been reeking havoc ever since. Mera Vandenberg is an eighteen year old Descendant of the Twelve Olympian's whose fiance, a son of Zeus named Ariston, was kidnapped by the Nameless One. Mera unknowingly begins a war that was long in the making and sets out in search for the god she loves. As her quest continues, she comes to realize that nothing is what it seems, and that a mysterious immortal named Jason Gray is more connected to her than she knows.

    "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings

    and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to." William Shakespeare, Hamlet

    Preface
    I was going to die, of that much I was certain. Though how permanent my death would be remained a mystery to me. I could not find it in me to regret what brought me to Pandora's box, the first of the three gifts the Moirae promised would come from my death. I was grateful for every blessing that has been bestowed upon me in my short eighteen years in this world. My mind kept drifting between two people, the two that mean the most to me. Ariston's sky blue eyes and beautiful crooked smile came to mind, the warmth of his body held close to mind, how his voice sounds when he whispers my name. I never in my life imagined it was possible for two people to be as in love as my husband and I are, but most of all, I never expected another kind of love would enter my heart. A love that is as powerful as my love for Ariston, a love came in the form of a daughter, his daughter Kallisto and now mine as well. I did not want to leave my family, my husband and my daughter, but I did not seem to have a choice, I could feel myself fading away, growing weaker with the passing of each shaky breath as I laid there bleeding and shivering on the cold ice floor.
