About the book
Lyra files paperwork for the Order of Thieves and has been cursed since before birth, by Zeus, so that no one can love her. Then Hades names her his champion in the Crucible, the deadly contest for the throne of Olympus, and offers a deal: win, and he breaks the curse. Gods playing dirty, steamy, and a cliffhanger.
