The Things Gods Break
The gods want her dead...Hades will bury them.
You’d think I’d have learned by now:
Don’t mouth off to deities.
Don’t fall for the King of the Underworld.
And definitely don’t get dragged into a divine death match where I’m the cursed mortal prize.
But here I am―trapped in Tartarus, humanity’s worst pit stop, squaring off against monsters who make the gods look merciful. Titans, twisted by centuries of rage and ruin, are sealed behind seven ancient locks.
And guess what?
I'm the key.
To escape, I’ll have to survive every horrifying trial they throw at me.
To win, I might have to become something the gods never saw coming.
Oh, and Hades?
He's about to break every rule the gods ever wrote.
Because to save me...the god of death will burn the world.
But if I break free? So do the Titans.
And the world won’t just suffer―it'll beg for the end.

The Crucible
In The Crucible series, the gods are more than distant legends—they're active players in a high-stakes game where mortal lives are the prize. At the intersection of modern life and ancient mythology, the series brings a thrilling, action-packed narrative that challenges the boundaries between the divine and the human.
It all begins with The Games Gods Play, where Lyra, a seemingly ordinary office clerk, is thrust into the deadly contest of the Crucible by Zeus himself. But this is no typical battle. Instead, it’s a game of wit, strength, and cunning, where survival requires more than just physical prowess—it demands a deep understanding of the gods' manipulation and ruthless agendas. With each trial, Lyra discovers new depths of strength within herself and a dangerous connection to the god of the Underworld, Hades.
The Crucible consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
