They call him the greatest hero who has ever lived. I call him the man who slaughtered my family.
For twenty years, I’ve been the girl Olympus forgot, hiding in the shadows while the world worships my family’s killer. But now the gods are offering their favorite son a chance at immortality, and I cannot let him win. An eternity of his cruelty is unthinkable.
To stop him, I have to become one of the four heroes to enter the twelve deadly trials. And fates, am I the underdog. No money, fame or status. But, I have friends. I have Rage magic. Perhaps even a god on my side.
What I don’t need is Alexios, son of Dionysus. He’s charming, gorgeous, obscenely rich, and the most insufferable man I’ve ever met. He poisons me. For one month, I can’t move more than twenty feet from him, or I’m as good as dead. He won’t say why he needs to be in these trials. Only that wherever I go, he goes.
So we tell Olympus we’re in love. Because if my rivals find out about the tether, they’ll know just how to end me. And my father would leap at the chance to finish what he started twenty years ago.
But I’m not the terrified child who fled anymore. Poisoned or not, there’s only one way this can end.
Hercules must die.
