Ash is from a line of gladiators directly descended from the fire god Ignitus himself, and has seen her mother fight in arenas all her life. In the domain of the earth god Geoxus, Madoc has grown up fighting on the streets to support his family, but he guards a dangerous secret – his elemental power is not of the earth as it is supposed to be, but something that has never been seen before. In a world ruled by six gods, each possessing a specific type of energeia – elemental power – there are the Divine, who have inherited energeia from their god, and the powerless Undivine who are second class citizens. Thank you to the publisher, Balzer + Bray, and Edelweiss for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The fights put Madoc in Ash’s path, and she realizes that his powers are the weapon her rebellion needs-but Madoc won’t jeopardize his family, regardless of how intrigued he is by the beautiful warrior.īut when the gods force Madoc’s hand, he and Ash uncover an ancient war that will threaten more than one immortal-it will unravel the world. When an attempted revenge plot goes dangerously wrong, Ash inadvertently throws the fire and earth gods into a conflict that can only be settled by deadly, lavish gladiator games.
His elemental gift is something else-something that hasn’t been seen in centuries. But he hides a dangerous secret: he doesn’t have the earth god’s powers like his opponents. Madoc grew up fighting on the streets to pay his family’s taxes. But after her mother dies in an arena, she vows to avenge her by overthrowing her fire god, whose temper has stripped her country of its resources. Synopsis: Ash is descended from a long line of gladiators, and she knows the brutal nature of war firsthand. Published: August 4th, 2020 (Balzer + Bray)
