Produktbeschreibung
In the backdrop of the roaring twenties, among secret parties and speakeasies, and combining the traditional touches of Greek mythology, comes an enchanting exploration of Love and Discord. Causing chaos and mischief on the mortal realm were all that Eris, the goddess of discord, enjoyed until one day Eros, the god of love, challenged her opinions of love; of which she had always believed was trivial and were mere sexual desires that mortals felt for each other. Making a wager with him that Eris could easily do his job of making mortals fall in love with each other, she becomes a matchmaker for a mortal named Henry, an aspiring classical musician by day but jazz hound at night. However, Henry ends up not being like most young men she had dealt with before. He is awkward, shy, and "girl-fearing." So much so that Eris must use her powers and wisdom to help him win the girl of his dream. And when or even if he succeeds with his girl, an art student from his university, Eris would win the possession of Eros' most powerful love device. A device that could hold and control all of love's secrets. With it, Eris plans to cause more chaos upon the world.Unknowingly to the goddess however, this wager would prove to be more than just a game of boy meets girl. Nor would it be just a battle of beliefs between her fellow god. As she would later find that being mortal is as complicated as love itself...
Autorenporträt
Weidan Sima was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Always the shy and introverted type, he never had much success with dating and love in paradise. Inspired to find a book that could relate to the awkward and shy types, and to those who would enjoy a meaningful love story filled with fantasy, historical references, and deep characters, he found it writing this book. After spending five years writing his debut novel, amongst college exams, heartaches, and the demands of emerging adulthood, he can proudly say that it was all worth it. Of Love and Discord was finished thanks to partly finally saying farewell to his island home of twenty some years and moving to California with nothing but two suitcases and a dream. He is still continuing that dream to this day.
