Where Madness Lies

Her visions foretell darkness...but no one believes.

Alex is cursed and miserable. Hospitalized once again for the devastating visions she struggles to control, the lonely mortuary technician longs for her safe and quiet life away from the living.

But after befriending a depressed, anorexic waif in her ward, Alex is stunned when the stranger reveals herself as Artemis...the former Greek Goddess of the Hunt.

Alex agrees to help her distraught new friend uncover the dangerous force that's killing her Olympic family. The rest of the ex-gods are deeply shocked to meet her as well-as far as they knew, all the oracles had been wiped out centuries ago. 

But when the impossibly strong Venetian assassins strike again, a terrified Alex and shattered Artemis must fight to escape a web of immortal family secrets, mysterious cults, and devastating revelations that leave no one unscathed.

Where Madness Lies is a captivating contemporary mythological thriller, with strong female protagonists, found family, a hint of romance, page-turning suspense, and a pantheon of delicious characters. Heidi K. Allen's fresh, stunning debut is simply unputdownable.
