Shannon has to come up to speed quickly to survive in her new role. As Goddess Incarnate of Epona, Shannon is responsible for the welfare of a nation. Coerced into a political marriage with a Centaur chieftain, Shannon and her new husband unite their people in a fierce battle against the Fomorians, a vampire-like race who threatens to overrun and destroy their world. And even if Shannon and ClanFintan win the battle with the Fomorians, there's still the "real" Rhiannon to contend with.
Disillusioned with life in Oklahoma, Rhiannon is determined to return to her own life as Goddess. For that to happen, Shannon has to leave hearth, home and husband -- all that she's learned to love and hold dear.
I loved this story the first time I read it in small press form as "Goddess by Mistake" a few years ago and I loved it this time, too. A lot has been added to this edition. It's not just an old book with a new cover and title, but a total rewrite. P.C.Cast is an excellent writer and it is great to have seen her go from small press to a major publisher. No one deserves it more. That she's a teacher, too, is just icing on the cake.
Book Summary
The most excitement teacher Shannon Parker expected on her summer vacation was a little shopping. But then her latest purchase—a vase with the Celtic goddess Epona on it— somehow switches her into the world of Partholon, where she's treated like a goddess. A very temperamental goddess…
It seems that Shannon has stepped into another's role as the Goddess Incarnate of Epona. And while it has some very appealing moments—what woman doesn't like a little pampering now and then?—it also comes with a ritual marriage to a centaur and the threat of war against the evil Fomorians. Oh, and everyone disliking her because they think she's her double.
Somehow Shannon needs to figure out how to get back to Oklahoma without being killed, married to a horse or losing her mind….
