Some shadows protect you…others will kill you in this dazzling new fantasy series from award-winning author Abigail Owen. Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake. As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life. Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.

My twin sister is the true queen of Aryd. She survives, hiding and clinging to life in the desert, while I reign as the false queen alongside the monstrous King Eidolon. There’s only one escape from this gilded prison: Reven. My Shadowraith. My heart. Only the shadows that he struggles to control are growing more sinister, more powerful. It’s just a matter of time before they turn on him…and on me. Even escape doesn't mean true freedom, though, when we're still on the run from Eidolon’s unstoppable armies. And when we discover there’s a traitor among us, I have no choice…I must become the queen I was never meant to be. Because as one evil hunts me, the other loves me more than himself. And my fate lies with both.

The gods love to toy with us mere mortals. And every hundred years, we let them… I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead. So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his? I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky? Because Hades is playing by his own rules…and Death will win at any cost.

Treze deuses. Treze campeões. E infinitas chances de morrer. Lyra Keres é a mulher mais solitária de San Francisco. Quando a bolsa de sua mãe estourou bem no templo de Zeus, vinte e três anos atrás, o deus jogou uma maldição sobre a recém-nascida: ela nunca seria amada. Entregue pelos pais à Ordem dos Ladrões ainda criança, Lyra cresceu sem família, sem amigos e sem sequer saber seu verdadeiro nome. Mas ela está de saco cheio dessa maldição, farta da ira de Zeus. É por isso que, na noite de abertura da Provação, a competição que os deuses promovem a cada cem anos para decidir quem será o rei do Olimpo, ela se dirige ao templo de Zeus, determinada a causar algum estrago. Quando chega lá, porém, ela acaba encontrando… Hades. O Rei do Submundo não é nada como ela esperava: em vez de roupas pretas da cabeça aos pés, usa botas e jeans; em vez de envolto em sombras, é luminoso, bonito, com olhos prateados; e em vez de enxofre, cheira a chocolate amargo. Lyra definitivamente não esperava que, pela primeira vez em milênios, Hades decidisse participar da Provação. E muito menos que, entre os bilhões de mortais no mundo, ela fosse a escolhida para ser sua campeã. Mas Hades tem uma proposta sedutora, irrecusável até: além das bênçãos que o vencedor da Provação normalmente recebe, se ela ganhar, ele vai acabar com sua maldição. Agora, Lyra precisará enfrentar doze campeões, doze deuses do Olimpo ― e uma inconveniente atração cada vez maior pelo deus mais sombrio de todos ― para ganhar a competição e, quem sabe, finalmente ser amada por alguém. Mas Hades tem seus próprios motivos para entrar na Provação, e seus segredos são mais numerosos que as estrelas no céu. Em meio a desafios mortais, alianças inesperadas e inimigos poderosos, Lyra vai precisar descobrir em quem confiar e no que acreditar se quiser ser a vencedora ― ou ao menos sobreviver à batalha do século. O mundo está em polvorosa. Os deuses estão em guerra. Que comecem os jogos.
