Cast from the cliffs of Mount Taygetus as a teenager, Thera was meant to die--a forgotten casualty of Sparta's ruthless code. But the gods had other plans.

Raised in exile by a blind seer, Thera has spent her life hiding from the world that betrayed her. Until the day a Spartan scout crosses her path, and she learns a prophecy has surfaced: one that speaks of a girl born of ash and iron, destined to bring Sparta to its knees.

On the run with a sharp-tongued trickster--Hermes--Thera is thrust into a world of shifting alliances, ancient monsters, and secrets buried beneath blood and stone. As visions haunt her steps and divine power stirs beneath her skin, she must confront the truth of her lineage, and the god who claims her as his daughter.

To survive, Thera must become more than a symbol.

More than a weapon.

She must become the war.
