Gilded Ruin

New Olympia is a shimmering city built for the beautiful and the wealthy, ruled over by Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Outside the gleaming facade, the poorest fight daily just to survive — and Briar is one of them. Since losing her family, she no longer worries about her own safety. Instead, she has sworn revenge on the gods who rule the city, whatever the cost.

The opening book in Emily Bähr's Gods of New Olympia series reimagines Greek mythology as a modern, glamorous, and deeply unequal city-state, following a protagonist with nothing left to lose against rulers who consider themselves untouchable.
