The Gods’ Gambit, a game of deadly trials, always ended with a winner.
Not this time.
They are coming. They are coming. They are coming. Those were the words her mother repeated every day without fail.
When twenty-two-year-old Charisma woke up in Elythra, forced into the Gods’s Gambit, her mother’s warning suddenly made sense.
Though, the trials weren’t her only problem.
The figure of a man, made of shadow, instructed her that her survival hinged on one thing: she had to pretend to be in love with the God of Love.
The games? They became the least of her concerns.
As the trials unraveled, Charisma found herself entangled in an alliance with three powerful gods who, unexpectedly, depended on her. Despite their own ruthless agendas, they were her ticket home. To her mother.
Trapped between divine games, ancient vows and a turn of fate, she realized that even if she believed she had outsmarted the gods, she was just a pawn.
And in a game played by gods, pawns were never meant to survive.
