Infos

In a world obsessed with swiping left, Melinda Soto, a brilliant coder more comfortable with ancient myths than modern dating, creates Amor-a dating app designed to ignite true love. But thanks to a late-night coding spree fueled by espresso and a cryptic Etruscan algorithm, Amor starts matching users based on their divine Roman ancestry.  Suddenly, the dating pool is overflowing with descendants of gods, and first dates are more likely to feature metaphorical thunderbolts than candlelight.
Rodney, a mild-mannered accountant, discovers he's a descendant of Jupiter, king of the gods, while Eleanor, his fiery lawyer date, finds out she's descended from Juno, Jupiter's notoriously jealous wife. Their dinner date quickly escalates into a power struggle worthy of Mount Olympus. Meanwhile, Isaac, a descendant of Mars, the god of war, finds himself locked in a passionate tango with Bethany, an artistic offspring of Venus.  Their dates are a whirlwind of art gallery openings and intense sparring matches-a bizarre but compelling mix of their inherited natures.  And then there's Wanda, a descendant of Ceres, whose apartment inexplicably transforms into an urban farm, attracting every vegan and organic farmer within a fifty-mile radius.
Melinda, horrified by the chaos she's unleashed, becomes a reluctant digital deity, desperately trying to debug her app and contain the escalating divine drama.  Her own love life, ironically, remains a barren wasteland. That is, until she meets Theodore, a quirky history professor with an encyclopedic knowledge of Roman mythology and a secret lineage connected to Mercury, the messenger god.  Their connection sparks over late-night debates about historical accuracy and the absurdity of online dating.
But the laughs don't last long. A hidden layer of code in Amor reveals a forgotten prophecy, foretelling catastrophic consequences should the divine bloodlines fully reconnect.  A cosmic imbalance threatens reality, and a clandestine group known as the Council of Elders, tasked with maintaining balance between the mortal and divine realms, pressures Melinda to shut down Amor. As the divine descendants' inherited traits amplify, turning first dates into epic showdowns and everyday lives into mythological reenactments, Melinda must choose between fixing her mistake and risking her own chance at happiness.  With Theodore by her side, she races against time to unravel the mysteries of the Etruscan algorithm, battling the Council's interference and the escalating chaos, all while falling deeper in love amidst the divine pandemonium. Will they find a way to harmonize the ancient and the modern before the gods return and turn the world upside down?
