    About this ebook

    Losing my job wasn’t the problem…
    Being recalled was.

    No one believes in the Greek gods anymore, which leaves me with nothing to do at the banks of the river Styx.

    Boredom isn’t an excuse for bad judgment, but I should have known better than to hang out in Fort Lauderdale.

    The nightclub owned by my elder brother Thanatos—Death—is the hottest destination on the beach, until mortals inexplicably sicken and die—

    —and show up at the Styx.

    The displaced mortals are the first pawns in the long-overdue war between the gods of Olympus and the offspring of the Titans—the children of Nyx, my siblings and me.

    My name is Charon, and my only power as the ferryman is to travel any path between Point A and Point B.

    Unfortunately, that power isn't going to be enough to escape—or avert—the apocalypse headed my way…

    Jade Kerrion

    Welcome! I’m Jade Kerrion, a Science Fiction author. I graduated from the Johns Hopkins University with an undergraduate degree in Biology and Philosophy, and then went on to get my MBA from the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia. My varied background led me through many careers across many industries, including container shipping, education, and management consulting. In my spare time, I wrote stories – young adult, fantasy, and science fiction – and developed a loyal reader base with my fan fiction series based on the MMORPG Guild Wars. I was accused of keeping my readers up at night, distracting them from work, housework, homework, and (far worse), from actually playing Guild Wars. And then I wondered why just screw up the time management skills of gamers? Why not aspire to screw everyone else up too? So here I am, writing books that aspire to keep you from doing anything else useful with your time. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with my wonderfully supportive husband and my two young sons, Saint and Angel, (no, those aren’t their real names, but they are like saints and angels, except when they’re not.) Thank you for visiting!

      Chapter One

      Times get hard when people stop believing in you.

      Well, not me, personally. I was just a guy with a job—lowly, but essential. Or so I thought.

      The head honchos—Zeus, Hera, those folks up on Mount Olympus—should have paid more attention to the changing times. Perhaps invested more in marketing.

      Or being less of an asshole and a bitch.

      Whatever the reason, no one believes in the ancient gods anymore, which means that the dead no longer arrive at the underworld—

      Which means that I, Charon, ferryman of the Styx, am flat out of a job.

      Granted, the pay wasn’t great—a coin per person—but the lines were long,
