Arena of Atonement

A Fated Mates Mythology Romance

She entered the deadly divine tournament to murder him. Fate had other plans.

Every decade, the Gods select mortal champions to fight in the Arena of Atonement—a brutal spectacle where only one survives to claim their wish. Kaia doesn't want glory. She wants revenge against Ares, the God of War who destroyed her family. Her plan is simple: survive long enough to drive a blade through his immortal heart.

But the moment she steps into the arena, an ancient magic ignites between them—the fated mate bond. She's not just a contestant. She's his destined partner, chosen by Fate itself. Ares is horrified. Of all the souls in existence, Fate has bound him to a mortal who wants him dead. Yet divine law is absolute: he cannot allow his mate to perish.

Even as she glares at him with murder in her eyes, even as she defies him at every turn, he must secretly manipulate the deadly trials to keep her alive. She wants him dead. He needs her alive. And the bond burning between them doesn't care about either of their plans. In a game where only one can survive, will Kaia choose revenge or surrender to a fate more dangerous than any arena?
