Aphrodite, the goddess of love,  must reconcile her mind and heart when she is drawn against all odds to Ares, the god of war, in this epic, captivating tale from the internationally bestselling author of Ariadne and Hera.

From the moment Aphrodite emerges fully formed from the sea, she is devastatingly beautiful and imbued with ancient power. Driven by passion yet strategic in how she moves through the halls of Olympus and the earthly realm alike, the free-willed goddess wields unparalleled influence over every living being.

When fate brings her face to face with Ares, she bristles at the surly, hot-tempered warrior who is seemingly her opposite: disliked by everyone and devoted to stirring up conflict. Yet the gods are no more immune to the dizzying highs and lows of love and loss than anyone else, and soon they are irresistibly drawn to each other.

As their love affair spans mortal lifetimes, Aphrodite begins to question the gods’ games and her role in them. But there’s only so much room for fire and passion in Zeus’s kingdom. Before long, she must test her devotion to her own divine purpose—and to a love that can only lead to ruin.
