The Goddess Test (2011) begins with a straightforward bargain: Kate Winters agrees to live in the Underworld for six months and pass seven tests administered by the Greek gods. If she succeeds, she becomes the new Queen of the Underworld and the wife of Henry, Aimee Carter’s version of Hades. The tests aren’t what Kate expects, and neither is Henry.
Carter built out the series with three main novels and several novellas told from the perspectives of different gods. The Goddess Legacy and its companion stories fill in thousands of years of divine history, giving characters like Persephone, Aphrodite, and Hermes their own arcs. The main trilogy follows Kate from her initial bargain through an escalating conflict with one of the Titans.
The series works best for readers who enjoy mythology remixed into romance. Carter takes liberties with the source material, but the emotional core of the stories holds together. Kate’s relationship with Henry drives the main trilogy, while the novellas offer a broader view of life among the Greek pantheon.
