Crown of Olympus by Kate Asher

Thirteen powerful champions. Twelve deadly trials. One golden crown. And a prophecy that could ruin them all. For the second time in history, the throne of Olympus sits empty. With only one way to appease godly egos and negate a civil war, a brutal tournament is announced. The champions are chosen. The arenas are set. Olympus is waiting. Nyssa is Death's daughter. She is powerful, fierce, and feared by the living. Caelus is the King’s son. He was forged for power, and born to rule. She enters for reasons wrapped in grief and vengeance; to defy the Olympians who dared to look down upon her, and ensure that the fate written for her doesn’t end in disaster. He enters to claim his birthright, to prove he is more than a mirror image of his father, and to get close to the woman threatening to steal more than his crown. Olympus demands a victor. Fate demands a price. It’s not just about a crown – it’s about who survives long enough to wear it. And whether they’re willing to pay the cost in blood.
