The gods took everything from Hades. Now he's coming to collect. For once, I'm not the mortal condemned to face a series of deadly trials. Hades is. To reclaim the powers that are rightfully his, the King of the Underworld must compete against the gods of Olympus—and survive a contest designed to bring even immortals to their knees. I've lost count of how many impossible choices I've survived. I should be relieved to watch from the sidelines. Except the god I love is risking his life with every trial, and someone known only as the Deceiver is determined to destroy Team Underworld. As ancient deception spreads across Olympus, the foundations begin to fracture from within. Hades and I must expose our hidden enemy before the gods turn against one another—and the world pays the price. The thrilling conclusion to the instant #1 New York Times bestselling The Games Gods Play and The Things Gods Break. The Crucible series is best enjoyed in order.
