The Striker

English Premier League football (soccer), set around the fictional London club Blackcastle FC. It is not a hockey or American football series, despite occasional mislabeling.

It names the hero's position on the pitch. Each book in the series is titled after its hero's football position.

Yes. Gods of the Game is the London-set branch of her shared universe, the Anaverse, with character overlap across her series.

The books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order, though The Striker comes first.

Scarlett DuBois leads The Striker, and her brother Vincent DuBois, the hero's rival here, becomes the lead of the next book, The Defender.

The Gods of the Game series has been optioned for a film adaptation by Amazon MGM Studios.

Every series in the author's shared universe is designed to be enjoyed independently. While you may encounter cameos or subtle references to characters from her other series, this story functions as a standalone entry within the Gods of the Game series.

This is the first installment in the Gods of the Game series, which continues with subsequent titles including The Defender and The Keeper.
