When the Gods make the first human woman, Pandora, they impress on her just one certainty: that she has been made to love and be loved by her husband, the titan Epimetheos. And yet when Pandora arrives at his home on Colchis, she’s surprised to find that Matheos doesn’t feel the same. In fact, he wants nothing to do with her.

Hurt and confused, Pandora struggles to find purpose and meaning in her new life. What was she made for, if not this? And what does it have to do – if anything – with her husband’s brother Prometheus, doomed to eternal punishment by the King of the Gods? Soon she and Matheos find themselves thrown together more and more, as they try to uncover the real reason the Gods sent her to him – and what that might mean for the future of humanity.
