The Divine Series (also known as the Partholon Series) was Cast's earliest work, with the first entry, ''Goddess by Mistake,'' published in 2001 by the independent press Hawk Publishing. The series follows Shannon Parker, a high school English teacher from Oklahoma who swaps places with Rhiannon, a High Priestess of the goddess Epona from Partholon, a quasi-Greco-Celtic parallel world/dimension populated by humans, centaurs, and monsters known as Fomorians. Following Cast's later success, the original entry was rereleased under the title ''Divine by Mistake,'' and followed by a sequel, ''Divine by Choice,'' in 2006. Two further entries in the series followed in 2007 and 2009. #''Divine by Mistake ()'' or ''Goddess by Mistake'', August 28, 2001 #*''Elphame's Choice'' (), November 24, 2004 #*''Brighid's Quest'' (), November 29, 2005 #''Divine by Choice ()'', November 21, 2006 #''Divine by Blood ()'', August 28, 2007 #''Divine Beginnings ()'', October 1, 2009 eries PrequelHouse of Night
