signifies the beginning of The Immortal Games: an epic set of games
played by the Gods of Olympus, with randomly-selected humans as
their Tokens. The stakes are high; the Gods covet entertainment and
glory above all else, for the Tokens, it's about survival.
17-year-old Ara wants revenge. Revenge on the Gods for allowing her
older sister to die in the Games. She's determined to be selected
as a Token and find a weapon powerful enough to kill a God. But
when she's plucked from the clutches of death by Hades, God of the
Underworld, the odds are stacked against her. Hades is the outcast
of the Gods, and the only one who has never won the games. But he
soon realises that Ara does not fear death, just as she does not
fear him, and when a wager with Zeus and Poseidon puts both their
futures at stake, the games take on a new meaning. With each
challenge, the games become more brutal. Can Ara put aside her rage
and survive? For fans of Circe, Ariadne and The Silence of the
Girls. Perfectly plotted Greek Mythology and Astrology makes this
the perfect YA for BookTok. Cover stunningly illustrated by
Instagram star, Tom Roberts.
