Trial of the Gods
"Several thousand years ago, the Greek gods ruled from Olympus.
Until humanity in the form of three kings rebelled and locked them away. In doing so, the three kings left a damning fate to their descendants - a price that is paid every ten years.
The Penance, a ritualistic sacrifice taking place once every decade, is what the gods demand of humanity in payment for the wrongs committed against them.
Zoe — born to one of the three bloodlines — has been labelled as one of these prices since she was born.
This decade, though, the gods have changed their minds. A simple sacrifice upon pyres is no longer what they desire, instead they plan a series of private trials set to test humanity. Unlike previous decades, this change of tune means that Zoe now has the ability to fight for something she has never dreamed of before: a future."

“One of the BEST books I’ve read in such a long time, I loved, I cried, I got totally lost in this book !!”

"I read this in one sitting because I couldn't put it down.
There are similar stories out there but this one has its own unique spin and doesnt give you time to breathe once the action gets started.
Zoe is a realistic FMC, especially for the world she lives in, and the way she handles the tasks forced upon her is both clever and a hint that maybe she's capable of more than is suggested.
The trials themselves are extremely interesting, drawing on lesser known Greek myths and monsters, helping readers feel like they dont know what's going to happen next.
I loved the twist even if I guessed it a few chapters early (personally I felt like knowing almost made it better). it will be interesting to see where the story goes in the sequel, especially with the hints of a possible love triangle teased."

“Oh. My. God.
I am utterly in love with this book. Trial of the Gods swept me up from page one and refused to let go. It’s the perfect storm of action, emotion, and gripping storytelling — the kind of book you start reading “just for a minute” and suddenly realize hours have passed.
Zoe, that absolute sweetheart, and Tyler, the beautifully misunderstood misfit, carved out a permanent place in my heart. Every character felt alive, every moment hit just right, and I was genuinely surprised by just how deeply this story hooked me.
Putting it down? Not a chance. -
Now I’m counting the days until Rise of the Champion — because if it’s anything like this one, I’m ready to be obsessed all over again.
