The Things Gods Break (The Crucible Book 2)

The Things Gods Break

by Abigail Owen

The gods don’t just play games.
They break what refuses to bow.

The Things Gods Break is a high-stakes fantasy romance where divine cruelty tightens its grip and survival demands impossible choices. Thrust back into a world ruled by merciless gods, deadly trials, and ancient magic, she quickly learns that defiance comes at a cost—and the gods always collect.

With alliances strained and danger closing in from every side, trust becomes a weapon as sharp as any blade. The man bound to her fate is powerful, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, carrying secrets that could either save her… or destroy them both. As the games grow darker and the gods grow crueler, love becomes both a weakness and a rebellion.

Because in a world where gods delight in destruction, choosing each other may be the most dangerous move of all.

✨ Expect:

• Gods, trials, and escalating danger

• Slow-burn romance with rising heat

• Forced proximity and tangled loyalties

• Mythic magic and brutal consequences

• A fierce heroine who refuses to break quietly

Perfect for readers who love romantic fantasy with gods, deadly games, and emotionally charged tension, The Things Gods Break raises the stakes higher—where love is tested, faith is shattered, and survival is never guaranteed.

🌙 For fans of myth-inspired fantasy romance, fierce heroines, and gods who punish defiance.
