Xiya, a young empath, is forced to run when a lightning wielding enemy destroys her hidden village. Her entire world will change overnight because of the gods she knows very little about.
Sav, the God of Chaos and Destruction, is desperate to keep his sister, or any of the Dark Gods, from claiming Zeus' empty throne and the power that comes with it.
Their journey takes them through a post-apocalyptic world, without technology, that is ruled by magick, ravaged by monsters, and filled with secrets and chaos. They must outwit and outlast their enemies in order to prevent the end of the world.
Along the way, they will discover new friends and new enemies as they prepare for the cursed arena where twenty-one mortal champions will enter to fight to the death on the gods' behalf.
Their decisions will not only determine who will rise to be King or Queen of the Gods, but who will survive to see them claim that power.
