THE ORIGIN — THE CHILD BORN BETWEEN WORLDS Before she ever opened her eyes… before she ever took a breath… Athena’s destiny was already a catastrophe wrapped in brilliance. Her parents — brilliant, reckless, and far too curious — experimented on her while she was still in the womb. The result? A child not born as one race… but all of them. A living glitch in reality. A shapeshifting miracle. A beautiful accident the gods haven’t recovered from. They tried to mold her. Control her. Contain her. But the moment she was born, she shifted into something new — and has never stopped since.
