LORE
For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods
with a game called the Agon, which turns
them mortal for one week, and at the
mercy of being hunted by those with godly
ambitions. Only a handful of the original
Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by
the mortals who killed them and ascended.

When Lore comes home on the first night


of the Agon to find Athena gravely
wounded on her doorstep, the goddess
offers her an alliance; they have a mutual
enemy, after all. But as the world trembles
under the force of Wrath - a god with the
power to destroy all of humanity - will
Lore's decision to bind her fate with
Athena's come back to haunt her?
