Artemis’ Hunting Moon

Delia grew up with a passion. She craved for the hunt. She loved the feel of the bow and arrow as she aimed for the kill, the spear as she threw it, all of it! She would sneak out late just to get the thrill of it. Just to get a taste of sweet victory as she killed her prey of choice.

Suddenly, Artemis — goddess of the hunt — offers her something she just couldn’t refuse. She becomes Artemis’ apprentice, learning the ways of the hunt and all it has to offer. Her enthusiasm and skill is very much praised by the nymphs — Artemis’ companions during her hunts.

But Artemis’ brother isn’t as welcoming of Delia, and decides to test her loyalty and skills in ways that are nearly impossible for her to survive. And as she makes her own friends along her dangerous journey, her vows and loyalty are tested to the fullest, as she fights her overwhelming emotions to a very skilled hunter, Theron.
