  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Zeus is up to something, her adopted bogeyman is holding a grudge, and her toddler dragon won't wake up—just another day in the life of Ellie, the newly recharged Greek Goddess of pity, mercy, and compassion, and the fiercely protective foster mama of Halfling House. 
   
   
   
  It's an ordinary night in Briarmoor when a mysterious stranger arrives on Ellie's doorstep, setting off a chain of events that could unravel everything she's fought for. As their Faoladh friends recover from their clash with the Morrigan, back at Halfling House, Ellie, Clara, and Shade must decide if this newcomer is a friend, a threat, or something far worse. 
   
   
   
  Between a chaotic family dinner with her mother—Nyx, Goddess of Night and Creatrix of the Greek Pantheon—wrangling mischievous Halflings and navigating her slow-burning romance with a certain mortal fireman, Ellie has her hands full. 
   
   
   
  Luckily, she's not facing it alone. Clara and Shade are stepping into their own power, the Faoladh are teaching her the true meaning of family, and Mason is proving love is worth the risk. 
   
   
   
  But will it be enough to stop Zeus's conniving schemes or is Halfling House on the brink of disaster?
