A goddess born from darkness at the dawn of creation. An entity feared by her own mother and cast to the edge of the universe. Nyx leads a life of solitude shapes black holes, shadows, weaving death itself. Her only solace? The bond with her sister Gaia. That is, until pride rips them apart.
Retreating into the depths of the earth in anguish, Nyx forges the Underworld, building a realm ruled solely by her will. But when the rise of the Olympians threatens her children, she is forced back into the divine arena she had previously abandoned.
Now, Nyx must form an army of ancient gods and horrors long forgotten, as this war will pit darkness against light, mother against child, and threatens to unmake the universe itself…
In this stunningly intimate reimagining of a Greek myth, internationally renowned poet Nikita Gill weaves a gripping story about the Goddess Nyx as she overcomes solitude and redefines her purpose.

Hekate Book Club Guide
- How does verse bring this story to life? In what ways does it reflect the Greek mythology it is based upon?
- How does the idea, “A story is a powerful thing” (p. 9) remain a theme throughout the novel? Why is storytelling so important?
- Charon explains to Hekate that, “All things have a purpose. Not every purpose is good” (p. 38). Why is purpose essential? How does Hekate discover her purpose? Does it change over the course of the story?
- Hekate describes her hand, “shaking with rage or sorrow; I no longer knew which one” (p. 39). Why do you think rage and sorrow are so intertwined? In what ways are these differing emotions similar?
- Why does Pallas agree to Hekate remaining in the Underworld? Do you think Pallas or Styx feel obligated? Does guilt play a role in their decision?
- When Hekate learns her father is in the Underworld, she reflects, “Despite it all, I was a hopeful child” (p. 74). How is there hope in so much darkness? Does Hekate remain hopeful?
- Do you agree with Hekate’s observation: “Everyone assumed that to protect children, they must be kept in the dark—no one understood those secrets haunted the same children they were so ardently trying to protect” (p.76). How are secrets beneficial in this story? How are they harmful?
- How does the concept of family change throughout the story? While there are many familial ties among the Gods and Goddesses, how does Hekate find her chosen family?
- Hekate muses, “Perhaps this was what womanhood was. The dangerous knowledge of who you are and what you could do with that power if pushed” (p.263). Why is the knowledge of who you are “dangerous”? How do the women and Goddesses discover and wield their power throughout Hekate?
- The concepts of betrayal and forgiveness are integral to the story. Hekate fights to protect her home, but do you think she forgives the Olympians? Why or why not?
- The Olympians fear what they do not know. Why is this detrimental to everyone? Do you see this happening in the world today?
- Hekate is a reimagining of Greek mythology, but it’s also the story of a child who is a refugee of war. What kind of effect does this type of narrative have on readers who witness or experience similar situations in their own worlds?
