Unlike other children of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, Piper McLean prefers to keep a low profile. She downplays her dark-haired beauty, dresses for comfort rather than high fashion, and keeps her relationship to movie star Tristan McLean a secret. But she’s no shrinking violet. When she or someone she loves is threatened or in need, she’ll use every weapon in her arsenal to help: the persuasive power of charmspeak; a dagger that once belonged to another beauty, Helen of Troy; even a horn of plenty taken from a murderous river god. A true hero, she understands that it’s what’s on the inside that really counts.
