The Immortal Game Begins
In a world where gods never died but merely retreated to the shadows, nineteen-year-old Alexis Hert struggles to survive. Homeless and desperate, she pours her brilliant mind into studying for the Spartan merit test-her only chance at a better life for herself and Charlie, the silent boy she's sworn to protect. What she doesn't know is that her true identity was stolen from her long ago. The blood in her veins carries power beyond imagination, and when a single drop of it dissolves her test paper into ash, her carefully constructed world crumbles. Imagine discovering that everything you believed about yourself was a lie. The ancient Spartans-a hundred immortal beings with godlike powers-never disappeared. They simply withdrew to the Italian Dolomites after humans discovered their vulnerabilities, building a hidden civilization of unimaginable wealth and technology. Split between fifty Olympian Houses with self-enhancing powers and four Chthonic Houses with abilities designed solely to harm, their uneasy peace shattered in the Great War of 2045. When monstrous Titans began slaughtering humans in 2050, the Spartans emerged as humanity's protectors, revealing their existence to the world. Now, in 2099, Alexis finds herself thrust into this dangerous game of immortals-a girl with no knowledge of her heritage, suddenly at the center of centuries-old power struggles and deadly secrets.
