The Divine Draft (Revered Pantheon, #1)

“To be chosen by a god is not an honor, it is an erasure.” —Enmity Self-Guided, Head-1.

Daughter of the only rebellion, Waverly Mavros is sharp, daring, and unafraid to question the world around her, even when doing so carries risk. From an early age, she was taught that divine intervention is the root of all evil and that any mortal affiliated with it surrenders their soul in the process.

When Waverly is selected in the Divine Draft as a vessel for a goddess, her carefully controlled world collapses. She is thrust into the ranks of the empire’s divine militia, where failure is fatal, and power comes at a devastating cost—her old life for one she never wanted. Her new duty demands loyalty, but the goddess within demands everything.

Brutal combat training tests her limits, mythical trials challenge both her mind and body, but her General may be her greatest danger. He is the empire’s perfect soldier, the last person she should trust, yet the only man who meets her darkness without flinching. Survival now means more than completing the trials or surrendering to the goddess within but resisting a forbidden desire that could destroy them both.

Can she prove herself worthy of her goddess’s power, or will the edge of duty and desire be the one line she cannot survive crossing?
