Sie kämpft um ihr Leben ... spielt Hades um ihre Liebe? Lyra hätte nie gedacht, dass ausgerechnet sie für die Crucible-Spiele ausgewählt werden könnte, bei denen die zwölf Gottheiten des Pantheons um die Vorherrschaft kämpfen. Doch ausgerechnet Hades, der geheimnisvolle Gott der Schatten und der Unterwelt, beruft sie als seine Championesse. Schon gar nicht hätte Lyra erwartet, dass Hades so ... sexy ist.

Im Jahr 2044 ist die Welt ein hässlicher Ort: Die Erdölvorräte sind aufgebraucht, ein Großteil der Bevölkerung lebt in Armut. Einziger Lichtblick ist die OASIS, eine virtuelle Ersatzwelt, in der man leben, arbeiten, zur Schule gehen und spielen kann. Die OASIS ist ein ganzes Universum, es gibt Tausende von Welten, von denen jede ebenso einzigartig wie phantasievoll ist. Und sie hat ein Geheimnis. Der exzentrische Schöpfer der OASIS hat tief im virtuellen Code einen Schatz vergraben.

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

Max Best is not living his—ahem—best life. His job's a drag, his home's a shooting gallery, his hopes are nil, and lately, even his beloved game of football has devolved from a chaotic, ecstatic delight into a cold, calculating equation complete with stats, tech terms, and mindless lingo. But then Max rescues a mysterious old man from a mugging. "Nick" seems friendly enough . . . until he innocently asks his savior, "Would you sell your soul to be a top football manager?" Naturally, Max says yes, and in that instant, everything changes.

Meeting an old enemy will lead to a chain of unexpected discoveries, encounters, and a contract that you don't want, but you have to make, because evil never slumbers. High levels, ranks, and titles that the citizens of Drikar struggle to normally achieve are a tempting reward. Most importantly, they all belong to the same sect . . . It would be all right, because Raven has emerged victorious from bleaker fights before, but this time, the stakes are much, much higher.

When football fanatic and loveable loser Max Best saved an old codger from a mugging, he never expected to be rewarded with the ability to immediately pinpoint a player's specific skills—and use that knowledge to up his own levels. Ever since that fateful night, Max has devoted himself to the game far more than any mere fan, becoming not only a serious footballer in his own right but a leader both on and off the pitch.

Max Best was on a roll. After climbing the ranks at Chester FC with his burning desire, innate talent, and the "curse" of a sentient heads-up display with knowledge of all things footie, he was named the club's electrifying new director of football. Seizing the opportunity, he saved the day and led the team out of relegation. But that's when someone tried to murder him . . .

Condamnée par Zeus à ne jamais être aimée, Lyra mène une vie terne à San Francisco. Son destin bascule lors des jeux divins—une redoutable épreuve qui détermine le souverain de l’Olympe—lorsque Hadès la désigne comme sa championne. Oui, elle, l’obscure, sarcastique et tout à fait quelconque mortelle.

Ein Kerzenstummel Seines Fleisches brannte inmitten des Großen Nirgendwo aus. Die Flamme Seiner Seele am Ende des Dochts warf zahllose stumme Schatten. Eine der Gesichtslosen senkte ihren Kopf auf ihre Schulter, lachte verhalten und legte die Stirn in Falten. Nach einer Sekunde ewigen Grübelns nahm der Schatten einen von seinen Händen geschaffenen Pinsel in die Hand. Sein Griff war aus einem jungen Spross des Weltenbaums gefertigt, die Spitze aus dem Fell des einzigen himmlischen Tieres in dieser Wirklichkeitsebene, dessen Pfoten selbst den Sternenstaub berührt hatten.

Magische Flammen toben. Klingen zerfließen. Seelen werden im Eifer des Gefechts zu Asche. Das große Finale des Krieges um den Ersten Tempel steht bevor. Die letzten Trümpfe sind ausgespielt, sämtliche Reserven sind erschöpft und selbst die Götter haben sich auf den Kampf des Volkes eingelassen. Das Universum steht kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch. Die Ketten, die die Welten einst zusammengehalten haben, sind gesprengt. Das eisige Wasser der Ostsee kühlt den glühenden Sand der Grenzlande.

Recovered from a near-fatal assault and rearmed with his embedded football scouting skills, former nobody Max Best has led his Chester men's team up in the rankings and ratings both on the pitch and in the front office. But there's no rest to be had with what's ahead: the FA Cup. Now, they're playing against big-money teams with big talent and even bigger attitudes. And the elite aren't about to let some smart-aleck, fast-talking upstart and his underdog lads make the powerhouse clubs look like fools. Unfortunately for them, that's precisely what Max lives for.

Not too long ago, Max Best was stuck in a dead-end job, trudging from one day to the next and mourning the fact that his burning love of soccer was getting buried in a landslide of cold statistics and intangible tactics. Then, after saving an old man from a mugging, he was "cursed" with the ability to instantly ascertain a soccer player's attributes on sight and use that knowledge to upgrade his own skills. Now he's making a name for himself as an amateur team manager, but it's not enough for him to ditch his dud of a job.

From the get-go of the Game, Raven's been through a lot. But in the grand scheme of things, all his ups and downs are just steppingstones to greatness. Knowing this, he keeps pressing on, facing whatever comes his way and never wavering from his core beliefs. But now he's hit another tough choice: to kill or to help? And it's not just anyone; it's about Abenkhriar, the Guard of his Floor and a servant to someone who's not to be crossed.

Being a trailblazer is tough, especially when you're talking about something as big as the next stage of human evolution. Every answer brings a ton of new questions. But as one of the first to chart this course, Raven keeps shouldering that responsibility, pushing forward and blazing a trail for himself and his buddies.

Football is a game of steps: Quick steps. Trick steps. Even sneaky, slick steps. Whether you're on or off the pitch, you best know your footing. And for Max Best, that's no problem at all. He has the ability to read players to a T—thanks to the sentient stat-tracking display he received after saving an elderly man in the streets. Now, as director of football for Chester FC, everything's falling into place for Max. His team is climbing the ranks. He's executing great transfers and hired a literal old hand for his brand-new women's team. What could go wrong?
