She has won the games of the gods, can she stand against the titans? THE SECOND BOOK IN THE CRUCIBLE TRILOGY FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES, #1 USA TODAY BESTSELLER, THE GAMES GODS PLAY Lyra may have survived the Crucible, but now she faces an even more dangerous test - a deadly race against time begins in Tartarus. You'd think I'd have learned by now: Don't mouth off to deities. Don't fall for the King of the Underworld. And definitely don't get dragged into a divine death match where I'm the cursed mortal prize. But here I am-trapped in Tartarus, humanity's worst pit stop, squaring off against monsters who make the gods look merciful. Titans, twisted by centuries of rage and ruin, are sealed behind seven ancient locks. And guess what? I'm the key. To escape, I'll have to survive every horrifying trial they throw at me. To win, I might have to become something the gods never saw coming. Oh, and Hades? He's about to break every rule the gods ever wrote. Because to save me...the god of death will burn the world. But if I break free? So do the Titans. And the world won't just suffer-it'll beg for the end. The games continue in the thrilling and highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling The Games Gods Play. Welcome to Tartarus!
