"Mythological reimagining at its finest . . . I loved Aphrodite's passionate romance with Ares and the vivid depiction of the gods."--Sue Lynn Tan, New York Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess

From the moment Aphrodite emerges fully formed from the sea, she is devastatingly beautiful and imbued with ancient power. Driven by passion yet strategic in how she moves through the halls of Olympus and the earthly realm alike, the free-willed goddess wields unparalleled influence over every living being.

When fate brings her face to face with Ares, she bristles at this surly, hot-tempered warrior who's seemingly her opposite: disliked by everyone and devoted to stirring up conflict. Yet these gods are no more immune to the dizzying highs and lows of love and loss than anyone else, and soon, they are irresistibly drawn to one another.

As their love affair spans mortal lifetimes, Aphrodite begins to question the gods' games and her role in them. But there's only so much room for fire and passion in Zeus's kingdom. Before long, she must test her devotion to her own divine purpose--and to a love that can only lead to ruin.
