Book details
Disney Hercules: Go The Distance (Twisted Tales)
Description
What if Meg had to become a Greek goddess?
Hercules has regained his godship, but Zeus tells Meg she can't be with the hero because she's, well, mortal. Luckily, Hera has a solution that would see Meg join Hercules on Mount Olympus as a goddess.
The quest? To rescue Meg's ex-boyfriend's wife from the Underworld. The same ex who left her while she was trapped by Hades. Can Meg defeat monsters and gods alike and finally put her past behind her? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of goddess-hood with Herc?
Part of the official Disney Twisted Tales series!
