A Game of Fate: 1 (Hades Saga)

Product Information

What It’s About: Hades, the God of the Underworld, meets with Sisyphus de Ephyra to deal with him over the business empire that Sisyphus has created, one that was built on drugs and the suffering of the individuals of New Greece. Whereas, for Persephone is was huge as their relationship changes and develops from there from attraction to love.

Sisyphus has broken one of the most ancient rules of hospitality–the law of Xenia–by killing his competition after inviting him onto his own territory. Most people believe that their future is not set in stone and that they have some control over what happens to them. Clair is a citizen of the Muscogee Nation and the author of the Hades X Persephone series, the Hades Saga, the Adrian X Isolde series, fairytale retellings, and When Stars Come Out. I also stream a variety of things over on Twitch with stream highlights and VODs posted on my YouTube Channel, and clips shared on my Clips YouTube Channel.The game can be played with two or more players, and can be won by either accumulating the most wealth or by finishing the game with the most time left on the clock.

I loved how the author introduced new supporting characters (Hephaestus, I’m looking at you) and how deep and dark this narrative really is. She is an expert in online marketing, and she knows how to use the latest tools and techniques to help businesses grow. Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Whether you believe in Fate or not, these games can be a fun way to spend an evening with friends or family members. When Hades isn’t with Persephone, he is forced to deal with the fact that someone is trying to avoid death using a spindle that allows them to cheat the Fates.Intrigued, Hades agrees to explain the game to her, and offers that anytime one of them wins a hand, they’ll answer a question. The ancient Egyptians also had a similar game that was used to determine one’s social status and place in the afterlife. Now one was usually delighted to discover that he had a fateful mate, a queen, and while Hades was happy, he was scared too. I was concerned it would feel like reading the same book twice but it’s done in such a way where it doesn’t feel like that.
