Every two years, nine champions from the realms of Earth, Water, and Air are chosen for the Ascends-a brutal trial designed by the gods to create a new deity from the strongest mortal.
Katharina Amerio, a Durnen of the Earth realm, has despised the games her entire life. She never wanted glory, never dreamed of ascension. But when her name is carved into the duran selection stone, she's left with two choices: fight to survive or defy the gods themselves.
Because Katharina refuses to play their game. And if she has her way-this year's Ascends will be the last.
