The sarcastically funny, dark fantasy romance reimagining of Hercules taking over TikTok oe I''m just a girl. And it turns out, I''m Hercules. I''m struggling to survive in a Titan-infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens. My blood test reveals I''m part of the powerful elite. I''m one of them. A Spartan. Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, I undergo the most harrowing test of all time to see if I have what it takes to be an immortal. There''s just a few problems. Achilles and Patro are my scary mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, and Augustus, the son of war, are my terrifying professors. Also, I''m pretty sure either someone''s stalking me everywhere I go, or my sanity''s slipping - I have a bad feeling both are true. I''m surrounded by villains and they''re smothering me with their hate, obsession, and dark possessiveness. Too bad for them, they have no clue just who they''re messing with.

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'This was damn fun. Alexis was original, full of personality, and I loved being with her on this fun (unhinged) ride. You won't be able to stop yourself from binge-reading this' RAVEN KENNEDY, NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GILD Step into the Coliseum at the Spartan War Academy where monsters are made, immortality is won, and even a god can die... Alexis Hert isn't a hero, and she certainly isn't a god. All she's ever been is a survivor.

But the Fates disagree.

When a blood test leads to her admittance at the Spartan War Academy, she'll have to do more than merely survive.

Alexis will have to claim her birthright: immortality.

But immortality is a privilege, one earned in the crucible of the academy, where the heroes are villains and classrooms battlegrounds. While gladiators Achilles and Patro, her demanding mentors, hone her into a warrior, Augustus and Kharon, her professors and the brooding heirs to the underworld, haunt her steps and her thoughts.

Because where there are gods, there are bound to be monsters, and there is more than one hunting Alexis...
