Milennia ago, Aphrodite was born when the flesh of Uranus fell into the sea. When his blood fell to Earth, the Furies - Alecto, Mageara, and Tisiphone - were born. Wake up, sister! Alecto, a woman Jacinta just met, tells her. Jacinta had been neither asleep nor dreaming when she was told to wake up. When men with machine guns start chasing her through alleys, she begins to think she's living a nightmare. Megan, Jacinta's former foster mother, seems unsurprised when Jacinta shares the tale of Alecto and the men with the guns. She had questions. "Did Alecto mention Megaera. Does the name Tisiphone mean anything to you?" Alecto, Magaera and Tisiphone: The Furies of Greek myth. Jacinta's understanding of her world shatters when Megan removes her coat, showing a pair of feathered wings. "Yours will come when you wake up."
