Book two in an epic Greek mythology romantasy series for fans of The Games Gods Play and Blood of Hercules.

BLOOD WILL FALL . . .
. . . BUT WHO WILL REIGN?

The Ascension Rite is over, but the trials are just beginning. A new ruler has been selected, but Olympus now balances on the precipice of war - again. The Crown has chosen, but the gods have not. Each must decide where their loyalties lie - with Olympus's true ruler? Or with the god they never saw coming?

Nyssa and Caelus - forever altered by what they endured in the Rite - must work together to defeat their enemies, their own minds, and even time itself. Just when their burdens seem more than they can carry, Fate whispers, "Oh, and one more thing."

The Hades Trials series is for readers who love:

  • Greek mythology retellings
  • Prophecy & politics
  • Funny books & banter
  • Strong female lead
  • Found family
  • Dual POV
  • Emotional damage

About the Author

Kate is an Australian author with a penchant for witty one-liners and steel-forged FMCs. She has a tendency to make books her entire personality (hello Katniss braid, circa 2011) so, authoring really was a natural progression for her. She began her career with a series of Greek Mythology reimaginings - fuelled entirely on caffeine and dreams - but is forever obsessing over whose story to tell next. When not deciding which characters to torment, Kate can probably be found playing boardgames with her two children, encouraging mischief and dance parties in her kitchen, or plotting her next joke at Poseidon's expense.
