Former mortal Cass never asked to be a demigod—technically, they didn’t even ask to be alive. A century after their twin sibling Pollux unknowingly sacrificed half his eternity to bring them back from the dead, Cass has unreliable powers, a mountain of baggage, and a bratty attitude. Cass spends their time doing party tricks, dodging responsibilities and being head over heels in love with Eli Drayden, a mortal detective who keeps them grounded in a universe that never stops spinning.
Then, out of nowhere, a struggling author from Earth crashes into their life, dropped into their path by a future version of Cass with an ominous warning: their brother Pollux has gone full cosmic menace in order to reclaim what he lost saving Cass’s life, and now, obsessed with death, he’s fighting through time and gunning for them all.
Now, Cass has to take responsibility and rally an unlikely team to stop Pollux before he turns his existential crisis into an extinction event. Which is hilarious, because Cass has never successfully taken responsibility for anything. But taking responsibility might mean Cass has to become something unrecognizable, and risk losing the love that keeps them human.
What is it REALLY about?
On the surface, Neon Pantheon is about gods and galactic chaos—but at its core, it’s a love letter to fandom, tropes, and the beauty of found family. It’s about battling self-doubt and mental illness, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, characters painfully in love but too stupid to do anything about it, and the simple truth that half the universe’s problems could be solved with a little therapy.
