“My body’s been broken, my heart trampled by divine whims, my hopes shattered like a glass vase hit by lightning. And despite all the obstacles the gods threw my way, I collected the debris and fused them back together, turning fragile glass into impenetrable diamond.”
A hero’s tournament. A defiant contender.
Does one girl have the courage to take on Mount Olympus?
Hope’s world doesn’t have room for heroes.
She barely has time for schoolwork, swim team, and taking care of her ailing
mother. But when she’s invited to a mysterious tournament, the all-powerful
hosts won’t take no for an answer.
Transported to Mount Olympus, Hope comes face
to face with her new trainers—the pantheon of Greek gods. While other
contenders train hard to gain a fighting edge, Hope searches for a way out.
Instead, she finds a gorgeous shadow god who may just convince her to stay…
As each round unfolds, the ultimate prize
draws closer—the granting of her heart’s deepest desire. If she survives the
final challenge, her mother’s cure would be within reach…but only if Hope can
ignore the tournament’s dark purpose.
