YA
Ari (Darkness Becomes Her; A Beautiful Evil), a descendant of Medusa, searches for Athena's turned-to-stone infant; Athena promises immortality to anyone who can find the baby, resulting in war between the supernatural citizens of New2 and the Greek gods. Keaton's original backstories for the deities can be cringe-worthy (Athena hooked up with a vampire?), but the post-apocalyptic New Orleans setting is fully realized.
