As Fate Decrees The gods of ancient Greece must find a mortal champion to defend their fate. "Go and seek the one I have told you about, she is frail and in need of help. Look not of upper blood, for I have seen her down in the dirt. She is held against her will. Find her and you shall find your savior." — The Oracle of Delphi In ancient Greece the young maiden, Amarantha, is captured and sold in the slave market of Athens. "What fates await?" she wonders. "And what divine design will the Olympian gods have for me?" As unexpectedly as she had found herself placed in chains, Amarantha finds herself purchased by a mysterious master who refuses to reveal his true identity. But he is no ordinary man, nor she an ordinary slave. Under her master's tutelage, Amarantha is trained as a fighter and challenged to prove herself in battle after battle until her skills are perfected and she is granted the right to know his true identity. He is Ares, god of war and the son of Zeus. And she is to become Champion to the gods of Olympus; bound forever to serve and vanquish all foes until the gods themselves grant her peace. But even gods are not immune to the fickle twists of fate, and Amarantha is soon ripped from her quiet resting place and cast through time itself to do battle with a modern day reincarnation of an old foe - a madman bent on rewriting history to suit his own twisted desire. She must act quickly to win this battle, for the fate of all Olympian gods hangs in a delicate balance between immortality and the realization that even the gods themselves may be returned to the dust from which they arose.

[MORE] Testimonials: "If you enjoy the world of classical mythology, you'll love this novel." — Margaret Carter, author "Ms. Bridger brings new life to the Greek gods and to any human with the mixed luck to cross their paths, including an unusual warrior woman who might be Xena's long-lost sister. Part II in particular is a page-turner, interlocked with what has gone before in a millennia-spanning clash of mortal versus immortal love." — Patricia Hodgell, author "This tale of an eternal champion torn between her love for a god and a mortal - and her duty to both of them - should satisfy readers with a taste for romantic fantasy." — Nancy Baker, author "I just finished and I'm in love. I'm getting a copy for everyone I know for Christmas." — Lila Dubois, author Reviews: "As Fate Decrees is well-written and has an interesting core concept."— Dru Pagliassotti, reviewer, The Harrow "The characters Bridger creates are intense and believable..." — Carolyn Cooke, reviewer, Surrey Now "One of Burnside’s best-kept cultural secrets is about to take the international literary stage..." — Stephen Clare, The Burnside News "Romance, adventure, time travel, magic, and conspiracy theories all get intertwined in this one, which sets its sights reasonably high and reaches most of them." — Don D'Ammassa "Both tales, and how they merge are masterfully done. The mythology is excellent and the story of timeless love, and fealty to the Gods is amazing. Am and Ares are together until the Fates decree she is to go and champion them at another time..." — Ellen, Amazon.com "As Fate Decrees by Denyse Bridger is a rip-roaring yarn that keeps you reading right to the end."— Elizabeth Patterson, journalist "At its core, As Fate Decrees is a story of true love; not just the romantic slushy stuff either, but that love you feel deep in your soul; that connects two people across time and space." — Lisa Fitzpatrick, Amazon.co.uk "Ms. Bridger has written a tale so rich in detail and characterization I was pulled right into the novel and left breathless. I've been a fan of Denyse Bridger's romances for years now, and though romance isn't the main theme, it is present. Anyone who enjoys Greek Mythology, and even those who don't, will love this story. As Fate Decrees should not be passed up. The reviewer who gave this book one star...I doubt they even read it." — Kelly Wallace, Amazon.com "This historical fantasy should appeal to readers who enjoy the Greek setting, complete with sword-play, warrior women, romance, aloof impetuous gods and modern-day terrorists." —Ronald Hore, CM Magazine "As a concept for a story, I found the novel completely different from anything I’ve read in a long time." — Fantasy Book Spot.com "Here is a first-rate piece of writing. It’s very readable, the characters are well done, and it is an interesting look inside Greek mythology. This gets two thumbs up." — Dead Trees Review "Here is a first-rate piece of writing. It's very readable, the characters are well done, and it is an interesting look inside Greek mythology. This gets two thumbs up." — Paul Lappen Interviews Denysé Bridger has also appeared in the Burnside News in an interview stating that Bridger is "[o]ne of Burnside’s best-kept cultural secrets is about to take the international literary stage". Bridger also has been interviewed by Allie Boniface on her Blog Allie's Musings. Read the interview here! MEDIA KIT [PDF]
