What if Meg had to become a god?

After Hercules proves he's a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can't be with Hercules because she's, well, mortal. Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. Olympus - as a god. All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest.

The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex's current wife from the Underworld. The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades. The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld. Can Meg put her past behind her and use her quick-wit to defeat monsters and gods alike, including the nefarious Hades? Will she finally figure out her place and contribution to the world? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of godhood with Herc?

Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don't Feel, Jen Calonita's latest twist is sure to delight and surprise.

The series

Full series details →

In a world where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the Twisted Tales series by Farrah Rochon takes beloved stories and turns them on their heads. Each book within the series imagines what might happen if key moments in iconic tales took a different path, leading to new destinies for its characters. Rather than simply retelling a classic, these stories ask, What if?—offering readers a glimpse into alternate worlds where choice and consequence create ripples that echo through time.

Read full series description

In Almost There, the reimagining of The Princess and the Frog, Tiana’s life takes an unexpected turn when she strikes a dangerous deal with the villainous Dr. Facilier. In a world where her dreams come true but at a cost, she must navigate the strange, dark underbelly of New Orleans, where everything is both familiar and eerily different. The stakes are high, and Tiana's journey becomes more than just about love—it's about survival in a world that was never meant to be.

Then, in Fate Be Changed, the reworking of Brave takes readers deep into a world where Merida’s fate is altered when she consumes the witch’s spell instead of her mother, Queen Elinor. What happens when Merida's decisions ripple backward in time? In this thrilling reimagining, Merida must bridge the divide between rival clans and forge a path where family bonds are tested and history itself is rewritten.

What makes Twisted Tales stand out is the perfect blend of rich character development, intense world-building, and the suspense of uncharted territory. Rochon’s mastery of these reimagined worlds feels effortless, pulling readers into the unknown with characters they already love but placing them in circumstances that force them to grow, adapt, and confront impossible choices.

With every story, Twisted Tales reminds readers that every moment is a crossroads, and with one different choice, the world could change forever. If you love the idea of alternate realities and the challenge of questioning fate itself, these books will keep you turning pages, wondering just how far the rabbit hole goes.
