Gods of Ruin

Three thousand years ago, they lost me. Now, five desperate gods will burn the universe to keep me.

My name is Thea Kosta. I'm twenty-seven, drowning in student loan debt, and spending my days restoring ancient artifacts in a Manhattan museum. My biggest problem used to be figuring out how to afford rent in a city that doesn't love me back.

That was before I opened a sealed amphora and touched a perfectly warm, golden apple.

One drop of blood was all it took to shatter my reality. I am not just a mortal antiquities restorer. I am the reincarnated soul of Eris, the Goddess of Balance, murdered three millennia ago by a jealous queen.

And the moment my true power awakened, it sent a beacon across the realms. Now, ancient enemies and cosmic horrors are hunting me, determined to finish the job they started thousands of years ago.

But I'm not facing this treacherous new reality alone.

Five of the most powerful, dangerous, and aggressively attractive gods in existence have spent an eternity searching for my soul. Hades, the shadow-draped Lord of the Underworld. Poseidon, the wild tempest of the sea. Ares, the scarred god of war. Apollo, the broken god of the sun. And Zeus, the king of the gods who will stop at nothing to earn my forgiveness.

They are fiercely possessive, deeply traumatized by their failure to save me in the past, and absolutely unwilling to let me out of their sight. They don't want me to choose between them. They want me to claim them all.

As I struggle to master the terrifying, primordial magic waking in my blood-a power that balances the dark cosmic void and the brilliant light of creation-I must also navigate the overwhelming devotion of five immortal warriors who would gladly tear reality apart to keep me safe.

The old gods want to bind me. The Titans want to unmake me. The void itself wants to consume me.

But they are about to learn a harsh lesson. I am no longer the obedient peacekeeper they remember. I am the daughter of Night and Ocean.

And if they want a war, I'll be the one to finish it.

Gods of Ruin is a full-length, high-stakes paranormal fantasy romance. This is a "Why Choose" novel where the leading lady does not have to choose between her love interests. It contains mature themes, explicit language, intense action, and morally gray, possessive ancient deities. Perfect for fans of dark mythology retellings, fated mates, and fiercely overpowered heroines.
