Serpent at the Altar

Thalia has spent her entire life believing she knows where she belongs.

Yet, she doesn't.

Pulled between three divine forces that have been at war for longer than anyone remembers, Thalia discovers that her fate was decided long before she was born, and that the people she trusted most have been keeping her in the dark.

Bonded to a creature older than Olympus itself, her magic is stronger than she ever knew.

And the gods are afraid of what she might become.

When the truth finally comes crashing down, Thalia is left with one question:

How much of her life was ever truly hers?

Her parents' deaths.
Her sister.
The temple.
The wards.
The gods.

None of it was coincidence.

She was a chess piece in a game played long before she was born.

But Thalia has never been particularly good at following orders.

And if the gods want to use mortals as pawns, she's willing to burn everything they built to take her life back.

"We mortals are not your pawns. You want to fight? You want to fight the monster you created? Come out, then. Let's have your war, shall we?"

A fast paced high stakes fantasy.
