Emerie Gale, a young poor girl, is chosen as the monthly sacrifice to the gods of Olympus. Her beauty is known and appreciated by the townspeople around Greece, especially in her own little one. But she isn't killed off like she thought she'd be: instead, she was chosen by Ares himself to be his destined. But danger surrounds Ares, and not long after she settles into her new home, it now follows her.
With a raging god always trailing behind her, the threat of an evil sorcerer, and duties of a Greek queen, Emerie slowly conquers her fears, and on the way, the heart of an angry god.

But he wouldn't change anything. No. That's the last thing he wanted. There would finally be peace within his family and the community of Olympus... finally."
