The Things God Break (The Crucible Book 2)

She conquered the gods’ arena. Now she must survive the wrath of the Titans.

From the #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling author of The Games Gods Play comes the explosive second book in the Crucible Trilogy—a dark, addictive fantasy romance where divine power, deadly trials, and forbidden love collide.

Lyra may have won the Crucible, but her greatest challenge awaits in Tartarus, the brutal underworld prison where even gods fear to tread. Trapped in a realm of monsters, curses, and ancient horrors, she discovers a devastating truth: the Titans—vengeful beings twisted by millennia of rage—are locked behind seven seals.

And she is the key to releasing them.

Now Lyra is forced into a race against time, battling nightmarish trials designed to break mortals and immortals alike. Surviving means becoming something the gods never anticipated. Failing means unleashing destruction on the world above.

And Hades? The dangerously irresistible King of the Underworld isn’t playing by divine law anymore. To save her, the god of death is ready to ignite a war that could burn Olympus to its foundations.

But if Lyra escapes… so do the Titans. And their revenge will reshape the world in fire and ruin.

A gripping enemies-to-lovers mythic fantasy perfect for fans of dark gods, fierce heroines, and high-stakes action. The games aren’t over—welcome back to Tartarus.
