What if Hercules wasn't the hero everyone thought he was?
His daughter, Lyssa, knows just how cruel he can be. But she has left that life behind and now her battered smugglers ship, the Alastor, flies under everyone's radar - just how she likes it.
The Gods have a different plan for her though. They're about to break one of their only rules and grant a worthy hero a chance to win the ultimate prize – immortality. And Lyssa and Hercules are two of the lucky heroes offered the chance to compete.
Twelve gods, twelve realms, twelve trials. And for Lyssa, they're about so much more than an eternal life. They're about facing the monster from her past and stopping him from becoming truly untouchable.
She never wanted to let the world know that she inherited some of her father's immense power. But maybe it's time to show them all. How else can she compete with giants, centaurs, demi-gods, monsters, warriors and the strongest man in Olympus?
You've never read Greek mythology like this before…
After risking their lives completing the Trials set by Hera, Athena and Artemis, Lyssa and the crew of the Alastor now need to face the twisted imaginations of three more gods and hope they can prevail.
With nine Trials still to go any of the four crews are still in with a chance of winning the most coveted thing in Olympus - immortality.
And some of them will do absolutely anything for an infinite life.
With secret alliances, spiraling emotions and dangerous challenges, will Lyssa be able to control her power and stop Hercules coming closer to immortality?
The Immortality Trials are getting deadly. With six Trials complete, lives are hanging in the balance and the score couldn't be tighter.
As the stakes get higher and emotions intensify, the heroes have to question what the prize is really worth to them. They all have secrets. They all have goals. And the Trials have a way of testing each and every one of them…
Lyssa's feelings for her new deckhand may be even harder to control with a visit to the island of the goddess of love… But he has one last thing to tell her, a secret that may change how she sees him for good.
Hedone and Hercules have decisions to make, decisions that may force Evadne to act. Will Eryx be there to help her? Or will his loyalty to his captain and his crew win out?
In the next bout of Trials our heroes will face some of the most vicious creatures they've seen so far, deadly riddles, a demi-god to rival them all and Lyssa will be tested to her limits when she has to face her worst fear of all; losing a member of her crew.
Are you ready for more secrets, twists and lethal action in the third installment of The Immortality Trials?

Those who survive will be celebrated. Those who win will live forever.
With just three Trials left, there's still every chance that the most dangerous man in Olympus is going to win the Immortality Trials.
If the heroes can survive the fall out from Hercules's actions on Aries, then the last Trials are to be held in the realms of the big three gods; Poseidon, Zeus and Hades, and that means the crews will have to face their toughest challenges yet.
And for Lyssa, there's not just the Trials to worry about. She's still hiding an unknown being from the gods in her cargo deck, and her desire for Phyleus may well start to turn her attention from where it should be - stopping Hercules. And when faced with the loss of her beloved ship, she is forced to make an irrevocable decision that will change both her and the Alastor forever.
Evadne knows the clock is ticking for her now that Hedone has finally made her decision. But at what point does redemption become more important than immortality? Eryx won't forgive her if she lies to him again, and would she want to live forever if she couldn't live with herself?
In this thrilling finale to the series our heroes will have to face their biggest fears, both physically and emotionally. Giant sea monsters, dragons and the deaths of those they love will see them to the gates of hell itself, before a winner is crowned. Will Lyssa win her last chance to be free and to roam the skies of Olympus for eternity? Or will she spend her remaining years fleeing a murderous monster who has been given unlimited life?
Who will win the Immortality Trials?
