THE GODS LOVE TO PLAY WITH US MERE MORTALS AND EVERY HUNDRED YEARS WE LET THEM I have never been favored by the gods Far from it thanks to Zeus Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus wont notice me Not an easy feat given San Francisco is Zeus patron city but I make do I survive Until the night I tangle with a different godThe worst god HadesFor the first time ever the ruthless mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Cruciblethe deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus But instead of fighting their own battles the gods name mortals to compete in their stead So why in the Underworld did Hades choose mea sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shouldersas his champion And why does my heart trip every time he says Im hisI dont know if Im a pawn bait or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god How can I when he has more secrets than stars in the sky Because Hades is playing by his own rules and Death will win at any cost
