“One cannot run a kingdom alone, Leta. I need assistance. You studied to become a warrior when you were alive. A soldier willing to defend her kingdom. The gods are at war, Leta. And I need an army. If you accept my offer, you can become an immortal soldier, feared throughout eternity. I can give you this future, this power. I can make you a legend. All I ask in return is you eternal allegiance.”
Leta died. But, as she will soon find out, death isn't the end for everyone. Leta is given a second chance at life, but with a catch: she must serve in the army of Occidus, the god of death. Allying with a mysterious mind reader, an intelligent coward, and and a friend she can't remember, Leta seeks out her destiny in a world where a war between gods and humanity rages, though even Leta isn't sure what side she is supposed to be on. Lies are told, secrets are hidden, and Leta must try to survive in a world that wants her gone forever.
What would you do if, after getting drunk in a party and passing out somewhere you don't remember, you woke up in a cart that is pulled by a horse with two people speaking weird language and wearing white sheets over their bodies? You panic, obviously.
Era never believed in Gods and magic. Why? Because it wasn't explained by scientists. She doesn't even change her view when she is thrown down the time hole and back to the ancient Greece -time when people believed in everything, especially Gods of the Olympus.
But her talk of "Gods don't exist" lands her into a festival of the Gods - a festival where people marked by one of the Gods of the Olympus fight for their life by performing something sociated with the god that they represent.
And she is supposed to survive when she is marked by the God of the Underworld himself. He goes by the name of Hades.
