Introduction - 'Holiday Homes to the Stars!'

'And as a reward they were placed in the sky, honoured with immortality, taking their place among the stars...'

For many generations now the land of Myth, holiday retreat of the gods, has been home to humans. Ruled over not by their immortal overlords but by the inevitable conventions of the cosmos, people are sorted at birth into districts denoted by their star sign. Life here is busy but peaceful, disturbed only when one of the pantheon of gods stops by for some relaxation in a place where throwing thunderbolts is only a mild annoyance.

But the gods have got bored. And they've introduced a new game to the people of Myth. The reward is great: to become one of the gods, wielding enormous power not only over their homeland but over every other world on which the gods hold sway. To be honoured in the sky for generations to come, and to be immortalised in the legends which pervade the universe.

But the price could be your life.
