The Modern Descendants series is a three-book romance by L.B. Dunbar that uses Greek mythology as its foundation. Published between 2016 and 2017, each book takes a different Greek god and places their personality traits and story patterns into a contemporary romance setting.
After the Arthurian-inspired Legendary Rock Stars, this series shows Dunbar’s continued interest in mythological retellings. Hades, Solis, and Heph each bring a different flavor of ancient myth into modern love stories.
