Long ago, Olympian gods imprisoned the demon Pandora in a human—Hope—creating a creature whose only purpose was chaos and death. Remorseful, the gods locked Pandora away in Tartarus, ruled by Hades.
Now, centuries later, Pandora escapes. Nate Garrett, a 1,600-year-old sorcerer, is sent to recapture her and discovers her plan to disrupt the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, killing thousands in a misplaced quest for vengeance.
Fast forward to modern-day Berlin, where Nate has agreed to act as guardian on a school trip to Germany to visit Hades at the entrance to Tartarus. When Titan King Cronus becomes the second ever to escape Tartarus, Nate is forced to track him down and bring him back, to avert a civil war between those who would use his escape to gain power.
Prison of Hope is the fourth book in the highly acclaimed and action-packed dark urban fantasy series, the Hellequin Chronicles.

We waited for a few seconds before we were off once more, and I mentally prepared myself for what I was about to do. “You’ll be fine,” Tommy said. “Sure, it’s just one little guy who people used to worship as a god. No biggy.” The car stopped beside some sort of visitor center, and we all piled out. There was a steep slope beside us, and well over a dozen cars

Earth magic allows its users to increase their strength, much in the same way that air magic allows me to increase my speed and agility. The second the massive stone came to a stop it was joined by a second one, forcing me to use my air magic to deflect its trajectory, taking it straight into a third rock. The noise was deafening as little
know that much. She didn’t want Cronus dead, not until he’d tried to kill her so she could finish him herself. So, who benefited from the power when Cronus killed Sarah?” “Didn’t Eos mention that Deimos was punished for trying to kill someone in Hera’s employ?” Tommy asked. “Maybe he’s decided to go after the matriarch himself. If he introduced Sarah to Demeter, then he could have been using Sarah as a spy of sorts.” “Deimos is a bully and a thug, but he’s not a smart one,” Persephone said.
group, you’ve got powerful people from the Egyptian, Chinese, and Japanese lines. There’s also the matter of the witches, who still get a voting block in Avalon; they’re almost always allied with whatever group Demeter prefers. In short, Hera controls a huge amount of power and influence in the world, probably more than any other single person who isn’t Merlin. If she dies, it will create a vacuum that will be fought over by everyone who thinks they have a chance of filling it. You really believe
key card?” “Give me two minutes,” he said and hung up. True to his word, by the time I’d looked around the corridor for anything out of the ordinary and then made my way to room 907, the manager appeared, handing me a key card. “This never happened. I’m only doing this because something weird is happening here. The key will access every room on this floor.” I waited until the manager had left the corridor before using the key on the door, which opened without incident. I’d been concerned that
