Tender Cruelty

The highly anticipated ninth instalment in the Dark Olympus series is a scorching modern retelling of the romance of Zeus and Hera, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert.

***

I was his wife. His lover. His sworn enemy. The ice queen to Olympus’s most hated king.

The barrier that’s protected Olympus for generations has fallen. The enemy has breached the gates and the Thirteen are scrambling to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the city they’ve sworn to protect. At least they would be if they weren’t at each other’s throats instead.

Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. But despite the white-hot hatred burning between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together, enmity crystallises into something brighter. Hotter. Too powerful to deny or destroy.

Hera never bartered on falling in love with the man she married – the man she once swore to kill. But now, standing back-to-back in the ruins of Olympus, she may be forced to admit that she’s been wrong about Zeus all these years…and there may be something about their marriage worth saving if they can survive long enough to turn sworn enemies into something more.

Katee Robert breathes new life into Greek mythology’s Hera and Zeus with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.
