Delphi is an ordinary data analyst living a predictable life in San Francisco until a mysterious, unrequested prize sweeps her away to a private villa in Greece. Her host is a reclusive, world-famous billionaire whose arrogance and biting superiority complex immediately grate on her nerves. Caught in a classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic, Delphi struggles to maintain her composure while trapped in paradise with a man who seems determined to drive her to the brink of madness. However, there is more to this billionaire than his fortune. Apollo is an ancient, powerful being navigating the human realm while ruthlessly pursuing a centuries-old vendetta. He usually views mortals with detached indifference, but from the moment he encounters Delphi, a strange, electric pull draws him in. As he questions if she is the catalyst for a long-forgotten prophecy, their forced proximity ignites a chemistry that threatens to derail his carefully laid plans for revenge. Filled with sharp wit, modern mythology, and high-stakes tension, *PHARMAKOS* is a captivating romantasy that challenges the very nature of fate. As Delphi and Apollo find themselves entangled in each other’s quests, they discover that destiny is rarely as simple—or as fair—as it seems.
