The gods are at war.
Olympus stands divided-split between those who believe the old ways must change and those who fight to preserve the rule of the Twelve. But the gods cannot fight each other directly. So, they turn to mortals.
The Olympian Trials are more than a contest. They are a battlefield. Each god chooses a mortal champion to represent their ideals, forcing them through grueling challenges designed to prove which vision of Olympus should reign.
The gods believe that through these trials, they will decide the future of Olympus.
But they are wrong.
Because something far older is watching. And when gods wage war, something always rises in the aftermath.
After all, it's all just a little bit of history repeating
