Even immortal assassins can’t outrun fate.

Lex has spent her life killing for Avalon. As one of Oberon’s most powerful assassins, she is feared for her lethal skill, rare magic, and unwavering loyalty to the King of the Fae. But Avalon has begun to feel less like home and more like a cage, especially now that Oberon’s latest command comes with an expectation Lex has no intention of meeting: When her next mission ends, she will return as his queen.

When Oberon sends her beyond Avalon’s borders, Lex sees her first real taste of freedom. Her mission: Enter modern-day Greece, find Zeus, and stop him before he reignites an ancient war that could destroy humanity. But beneath Athens’s sunlit ruins and pulsing nightlife, gods, demons, Fae, and monsters move unseen among ordinary humans. Every lead draws Lex deeper into blood-soaked secrets, a prophecy no one wants to explain, and an uneasy alliance with Nathan, a powerful demon with his own reasons for finding the King of the Gods. Arrogant, dangerous, and impossible to ignore, Nathan infuriates Lex as much as he draws her in—but the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to tell desire from trust, truth from another trap, or whether Zeus is the real threat at all.

If Lex wants to survive the war gathering around her, she’ll have to decide whether to become the weapon others want her to be—or walk away from the world that made her one.
