Synopsis
Bemused by Farrah Rochon is a young adult fantasy novel that delves into the untold origin story of the five Muses from Disney’s Hercules. This incredible prequel blends Greek mythology with themes of sisterhood and self-discovery.
The story centers on teenage sisters Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore, and Thalia, who live in a quiet seaside village with their overprotective mother, Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memories. After a disastrous public performance, Mnemosyne reveals their divine heritage but is swiftly kidnapped by Hades' minions, Pain and Panic. Under Calliope's leadership, the sisters embark on a perilous journey to rescue their mother, confronting mythical trials and uncovering their own powers along the way.
Bemused offers a fresh perspective on familiar characters, a story of the strength of familial bonds, and the journey from obscurity to heroism. It's a compelling read for fans of mythological retelling and Disney adaptations.
