Description


An explosive romantasy YA, perfect for fans of The

Hunger Games and Lore.

‘A thrilling, fast-paced, and brutal tale of revenge,

loyalty, courage, and friendship. Avery has created a world that

is merciless in its cruelty and trickery, and a cast of gods who

revel in causing chaos, but Ara, a heroine full of heart, is more

than a match for even the wickedest of them.’ – Melinda

Salisbury, bestselling author of Her Dark Wings

Every Lunar Eclipse signifies the beginning of The Immortal

Games: an epic set of games played by the Gods of

Olympus, with randomly-selected humans as their Tokens. The stakes

are high; the Gods covet entertainment and glory above all else,

for the Tokens, it’s about survival.

17-year-old Ara wants revenge. Revenge on the

Gods for allowing her older sister to die in the Games. She’s determined

to be selected as a Token and find a weapon powerful enough

to kill a God. But when she’s plucked from the clutches of death

by Hades, God of the Underworld, the odds are

stacked against her. Hades is the outcast of the Gods, and the

only one who has never won the games. But he soon realises that Ara

does not fear death, just as she does not fear him, and when a

wager with Zeus and Poseidon puts both their futures at stake, the

games take on a new meaning.

With each challenge, the games become more brutal. Can Ara put

aside her rage and survive?

For fans of Circe, Ariadne and The

Silence of the Girls.

Perfectly plotted Greek Mythology and Astrology makes

this the perfect YA for BookTok.

Cover stunningly illustrated by Instagram star, Tom Roberts.
