The Crucible is Abigail Owen’s foray into mythology-inspired fantasy romance. The Games Gods Play kicked off the series in 2024 and introduced a world where gods pit mortals against each other in brutal contests. The romance is woven into high-stakes survival situations, and the power dynamics between gods and humans drive much of the tension.
The series is still ongoing, with The Wrath Gods Reap scheduled for 2026. Readers who enjoy dark romance with mythological settings and plenty of danger will find a lot to like here. The German translations (marked “Schattenverführt”) have also been published for the international market.
