“FROM THE ASHES OF GODS, THE HEIR OF WAR RISES.”

The Olympian gods have been banished from Elysium for over a thousand years, the prophecy foretelling their return long forgotten.

Until now.

A god raised by mortals, Terena Luca has hidden her powers since childhood. If she is found out, the emperor will order her death. But the only way Terena can learn more about her origins is to work for the emperor. His Royal Tracker, hunting for lost treasures of the gods.

The job is a necessary evil. Terena’s dalliance with the crown prince of the empire? That’s just reckless. But Terena is tired of playing it safe—tired of the hellish reality that she can’t be truly safe unless she is alone.

At least, that’s what she thinks until her latest mission forces her to travel with Daris Antonius, commander of the elite legion of a rival army, a dangerous man she shouldn’t be drawn to despite the strange feeling she’s met him before.

Battling mythical beasts, accusations of murder, and an emperor bent on eradicating the world of all gods, Terena begins to question everything she knows. The only answer she finds is a baffling prophecy that declares she will be the one to decide the fate of all mankind.

Because the Fates are testing her, as all new gods are tested. Terena doesn’t know what they want of her, but they’ve given her eight chances to get it right.

And she’s failed seven times already.
