The Games Gods Play

The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen is the enthralling fusion of romance, fantasy, and mythology that propels readers into a spellbinding universe where deities walk among mortals. In this riveting contemporary tale, gods have not faded into the pages of history; instead, they thrive, exerting their whims over the human world from the heights of Olympus. Every century, a celestial game known as the Crucible unfolds—a fierce contest among the gods to crown the next ruler of Olympus, fought not by gods themselves, but through human champions.

At the heart of this tale is a fierce and resilient office clerk, caught in the clutches of a divine curse, courtesy of Zeus himself. Residing in Zeus's patron city, San Francisco, she has learned the art of invisibility, keeping her head low and avoiding divine attention. That delicate balance is shattered the moment she attracts the attention of Hades, the enigmatic and feared King of the Underworld.

Hades has never before participated in the Crucible, yet this time, he joins the fray, electing her as his unlikely champion. Suddenly thrust into a world of ancient power struggles and godly machinations, she must navigate a labyrinth of intrigue and danger. As she grapples with her role in this divine spectacle, her relationship with the brooding god becomes increasingly complex. Hades, with his shadowy allure and mysterious motives, is full of secrets that could alter the fate of mortals and gods alike.

Why has a god of such dark renown chosen her for this daunting task? Is she a mere pawn in a larger scheme, or does she possess a hidden strength that even she is unaware of? As her heart wrestles with her mind over Hades's possessive claim, the lines blur between foe and ally, desire and deception.

In this gripping romantasy, Abigail Owen crafts a world where every myth holds a kernel of truth, and every mortal is more significant than they appear. The Games Gods Play weaves themes of power, loyalty, and destiny into a narrative that is as epic as it is intimate. As Hades defies the normal conventions of these iconoclastic divine showdowns, readers will find themselves at the edge of their seats, wondering not only if she will survive, but at what cost. Death, after all, is an omnipotent force, and Hades plays to win.
