The Games Gods Play is a thrilling tale where mythology meets competition in an intoxicating blend of ancient power and modern romance.

Lyra, a mortal with mysterious powers, finds herself thrust into this divine contest alongside Hades, the brooding god of the underworld. As the Games progress, alliances form and break, secrets are revealed, and Lyra must navigate not only the deadly challenges but also her growing feelings for the dark god who might be her greatest ally or her ultimate downfall.
