The Darkest Prison

by Gena Showalter

First published 2009

Atlas once served as slave to Nike, the Greek goddess who held him in bondage through her divine power. The tables have turned. The Titan god of strength now commands his former mistress, their roles completely reversed. Nike finds herself at the mercy of the very being she once controlled. These two immortals despise each other with a hatred born from their twisted history. Their enmity runs deeper than mortal understanding, forged in chains and humiliation. Yet fate conspires to bind them together in ways neither expected. Atlas and Nike must confront the impossible choice between the vengeance they crave and a connection that threatens to consume them both. Their battle of wills becomes something far more dangerous than either anticipated. In this game of power and submission, everything they believe about themselves will be tested. Love may be their salvation or their ultimate destruction.
