Synopsis

They say heroes are forged in fire...

Jessa Whitley is about to burn.

High school was hard enough with asthma, social anxiety, and a knack for tripping over air. Becoming the next Hercules? That definitely wasn't part of her career aptitude test results.

After a terrifying vision leaves her reeling and a rescue throws her into a world of gods and monsters, Jessa learns she's not just some unlucky teen. She's the new Hercules-and the only thing standing between humanity and a breach in the Underworld.

Now the god of Death is hunting her, demons are targeting her friends, and keeping her two lives from colliding feels impossible. Worse still, she's falling for Paul, a cryptic immortal whose secrets run deeper than he lets on.

Caught in a war of ancient power and demigod politics, Jessa has to train, fight, and figure out who she really is before she loses everyone she loves. The gods may have chosen their champion, but Jessa is done being anyone's pawn.

If Hell wants her soul, it better come armed.
