The gods are not searching for heroes.
They are hunting vessels.
When Melinoë is dragged into Acheron Ascendant, an elite academy where mortals battle for the favor of the Greek pantheon, she expects to die quickly. Weak, unwanted, and carrying a magic she barely understands, she is instead claimed by House Hades, a sentence whispered about in fear.
Bound to a nightmare horse thought extinct and shadowed by power that bends toward destruction, Melinoë draws the attention of forces far more dangerous than the trials meant to break her. Theron, the cold and ruthless son of Hades, sees her as a flaw in his House, until her darkness begins to mirror his own. Aitherion, lightning-born and defiant, watches her as if she were something the gods never meant to create.
As rival Houses sharpen their blades and jealous alliances turn lethal, Melinoë uncovers forbidden lore buried beneath the academy, truths about the Titans, the gods, and the real purpose of the trials. When an apocalyptic final assessment is shattered by creatures older than Olympus itself, survival demands more than strength.
It demands choice.
Caught between possessive gods, fractured loyalties, and a power that could either damn or remake the world, Melinoë must decide whether she will be claimed... or become the thing even the gods fear.
Dark Gods' Obsession is a scorching fantasy romance filled with deadly trials, Greek-inspired magic, morally gray gods, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a heroine whose darkness refuses to kneel.
