The Premise

The book the gods tried to bury.

Anabeth has spent her life surviving a kingdom that never wanted her powerful — only obedient. Trained in secret by the Keres, punished by gods who fear what they cannot control, she learns early that Olympus does not reward mercy. Only submission.

When an ancient power awakens beneath the mountain — a power older than the gods themselves — Anabeth becomes something no prophecy prepared Olympus for: a force death recognizes as its own.

Hunted by gods, bound by blood, and shadowed by warriors sworn to stop or claim her, Anabeth must decide whether she will be shaped by the violence that forged her — or wield it to break the throne of Olympus entirely.

A dark, myth-forged fantasy of rage, survival, and forbidden power — where gods fall, monsters kneel, and a woman refuses to be caged.

An epigraph, before the fall.

"The gods do not fear the strong.
