On a quiet afternoon in the park, four-year-old Joey plays in the sandbox, when a stranger approaches looking for his puppy. While Joey's mom, Crystal, talks on her cell phone, the stranger convinces the child to help search. By the time Crystal turns around, her son has disappeared. Yet her reaction is odd, not what one would expect from a distraught mother. Is Crystal somehow involved in her son's abduction?

Seventeen-year-old Therese Mills survives the unthinkable After. a brutal attack leaves her parents dead and her heart barely beating, Therese slips into a coma—and crosses a boundary no living soul should cross. In the shadowed realm between life and death, she meets him. Thanatos. Beautiful. Dangerous. Eternal.

Hidden in the shadows of an East Texas pine forest, a man and a woman watch worshippers file out of a church. The man lights a match, and flames erupt, climbing the thirsty clapboard walls as the pastor trapped inside pleads for divine intervention and human help that never comes.

Hypnos and Jen aren't married long when they realize something's missing: they both want to have a child, especially when they see how happy Therese and Than are with their twins. But the creation of new gods is against the rules, and they aren't willing to give up their immortality. So Hypnos goes to Mount Olympus to offer Zeus a deal. He'll make it his mission to find out the source of the recent attacks on Gaia - horrible earthquakes - if Zeus will agree to let him and Jen have one immortal child.

An attack shatters Hades’s kingdom, unleashing billions of souls onto the earth and leaving the gods reeling. The Titans strain against Tartarus. Medusa walks free. And a malevolent force long banished begins to gather power. In the chaos, Therese is crushed beneath the ruins of the Underworld—and her soul slips away. Now Thanatos must fight on two fronts: restoring balance to the realms of the living and the dead while racing to find the woman he cannot lose again.

With Olympus fractured and Zeus growing increasingly dangerous, a new wave of heroes must rise. Hypnos steps into leadership. The twins Hermie and Hestie face a prophecy of their own. And as Prometheus resurfaces, the gods are forced to confront the consequences of past betrayals. But war among immortals is never simple.

Hades was never meant to be happy. Condemned to rule the Underworld alone, he makes a dangerous bargain with the Fates—one that will change Olympus forever. Persephone was never meant to be caged. Smothered by Demeter’s fear and the suffocating politics of Mount Olympus, she longs for adventure, autonomy… and something more. When the two meet, the spark between them is undeniable. But freedom comes at a cost.

Hermie and Hestie never wanted to be heroes. They never asked for prophecy, divine politics, or a Titan on the run. But when Zeus learns of Apollo’s vision—of the twins standing beside Prometheus—he takes drastic action. Thanatos and Therese are imprisoned on Mount Olympus, held as leverage. Now the twins have one choice: Find Prometheus before Zeus does.

With Olympus divided and Zeus’s authority cracking, a new threat rises from the depths. Poseidon’s trident has been stolen. Amphitrite has vanished. Ancient enemies gather their strength. And Therese is days away from giving birth. As prophecy tightens its grip around her unborn twins—children destined to restore faith in Mount Olympus—Therese must navigate betrayal, shifting alliances, and a battlefield that spans heaven, earth, and the Underworld.

Therese Mills loves Thanatos, the god of Death. And he is determined to make her immortal. But the gods of Olympus have sworn she will never join them. Now Hades offers her a cruel bargain: Complete a series of impossible challenges designed to prove her worth — or lose Than forever. The trials are brutal. The stakes are divine. And the gods are not playing fair. To survive, Therese must face monsters, outwit Olympians, and risk everything — including her humanity. Because becoming a goddess means more than passing tests. It means deciding what she’s willing to sacrifice.

With Persephone trapped inside Zeus and Morpheus forced into the role of spy, the gods are no longer divided by whispers and secret alliances. They are divided by war. Hades prepares to storm Olympus. Athena must choose between father and lover. Hermie and Hestie step fully into their destinies. And Zeus—desperate, paranoid, and losing control—tightens his grip on anyone he can still command. But war among immortals has consequences.

Therese and Thanatos should be planning vows. Instead, they’re planning a revolution. When Zeus announces that their wedding will be held on earth—surrounded by mortals who could easily become collateral damage—the gods are forced into a dangerous game of strategy and deception. Athena gathers her allies. Poseidon wavers. Apollo sees only one moment of victory—on the wedding day itself. To free Metis and end Zeus’s tyranny, the Alliance must strike when Olympus is most distracted. But binding the king of the gods will take more than courage. It will take sacrifice.

Therese has done the impossible. She burned, rose from the ashes, and became a goddess to be with Thanatos. But the gods of Olympus do not forgive oath-breakers. When Than is condemned to suffer the savage punishment of the maenads, Therese is forced to take his place as Death itself—disintegrating across the world to escort souls to the Underworld.

Samantha Beck arrives in Pennsylvania determined to uncover the truth about her ancestors—and to restore a forgotten Lenape lineage to the light. Tukihëla Nisha intends to stop her. Fiercely protective of the land and the graves hidden beneath it, he believes some truths must remain untouched. To him, excavation is not justice. It is violation. But when a catacomb reveals a generational scandal—one that binds their bloodlines together—Samantha and Tukihëla are forced into uneasy proximity. The deeper they descend into what was buried, the more the line between loyalty and love begins to blur.

Daphne came back to the island to save her best friend. She didn’t expect the island to save her. Determined to rescue Cam and expose Dr. Hortense Gray’s dangerous “living art” experiments, Daphne returns to The Purgatorium ready to burn it down. But nothing is what she believed. As federal agents storm the compound and secrets unravel, Daphne discovers that the truth behind the island is far more complicated—and far more terrifying—than she imagined.

This time, she’s not the victim. Daphne survived The Purgatorium. Now it’s her turn to run it. After enduring Dr. Hortense Gray’s experimental “living art” therapy, Daphne is invited to participate from the other side—designing psychological games for the people who hurt her most.

Eighteen-year-old Therese Mills has second thoughts about marrying Thanatos when she learns that no god has ever been faithful to his wife. But before she can move out of Than's rooms and into Hecate's, the Underworld is attacked, she and her friends are crushed, the souls are unleashed, and a malevolent goddess threatens to unhinge Mount Olympus.

The rebellion led by Hades prepares to storm Mount Olympus, but their every move is sabotaged. Morpheus is torn between his allegiance to his Underworld family and the oath he swore to Zeus under duress. Forced to play both sides, Morpheus sees no hope for the rebellion. Hermie and Hestie share Morpheus's despair. Although Poros turned them into gods, the transformation has only heightened Hermie's debilitating fears. And even Hestie's fierce determination isn't enough to overcome her trust issues. As the gods square off, how can one identify the friend from the foe?

Hermie and Hestie never asked to be demigods. Unlike others of their kind, they aren't interested in going on quests and being the center of a world-changing prophecy. But when Zeus learns of Apollo's vision - of the twins finding Prometheus, Zeus's number-one enemy - the hunt for Prometheus begins. Zeus and his allies want to bind Prometheus and kill the twins before their threat of a revolution becomes a possibility. If Hermie and Hestie don't find the Titan first, they have no chance of fulfilling their destiny or of surviving Zeus's threat against them.
