2018 Dragon Award Finalist — Best Science Fiction Novel

The Games are Forever!

It's one thing to Qualify and Compete…
Now she must Win.

Gwen Lark, nerd, geek, and awkward smart girl, is among the lucky ones. She's one of several million teenage refugees to escape the extinction-level asteroid barreling towards Earth and reach the ancient colony planet of Atlantis.

But Atlantis is a strange new world with higher gravity and a blazing white sun, where nothing is as expected. The new arrivals from Earth will now belong to the majority class of non-citizens who face a lifetime of hard work and limited rights.

To make matters worse, Gwen's rare and powerful talent, her Logos voice, is viewed as a potential weapon to be exploited by the Imperator, as well as a threat to the Kassiopei Imperial Dynasty and its uncompromising control over the people of Atlantis.

A last-minute heartbreak prior to arrival turns to joy, when Gwen receives a declaration of love from an unexpected source. The Wedding date is set, but before she can be joined with her true love, she is forced to compete in the brutal and deadly Games of the Atlantis Grail to save herself, her family, friends, and everything she cares about. Once again, her intelligence, quick thinking skills, resilience, and creativity are challenged to the breaking point.

The Games are monumental, intricate, lethal . . . and the Games are Forever.

This time Gwen must fight and figure her way through the most difficult and sophisticated contest she has ever faced. Terrifying Ordeals and impossible Challenges, ruthless skilled Competitors, vicious secret assassins, and dubious teammates she must work with but cannot trust, are just the beginning. . . .

Meanwhile, as the Games rage, the fate of two worlds is at stake as a new alien threat looms over Earth and Atlantis.

But Gwen Lark has a secret weapon of her own. It's not her Logos voice and its untapped power to control orichalcum technology and perpetuate change.

It is Gwen herself.

WIN is the third book in The Atlantis Grail series.

Ratings and reviews

Great books, great details. If you struggle with binge reading I'm sorry but this series will result in several sleepless nights because you won't want to put any of the books down. You will laugh, you will cry and your heart will swell with every single emotion. 100/100 would recommend

So boring to read, it's like trying to swim through quicksand. Reads like a 40 year old trying to write like a 16 year old... but has never had contact with teenagers in their life. Characters are bland, stereotypes abound. Essentially this is a load of tripe, perfect for the teenager who has never met another teenager and doesn't understand how people communicate and socialise with one another.

I don't think anyone –not even I– can comprehend the amount of hours I spent binge-reading the whole series so far. And I don't even know how, but this is the first series I have been completely and irrevocably obsessed with. The whole plot, description of characters just brought me further in. Honestly, I can fully imagine what each character looks like and I may or may not have developed a crush on Aeson. I mean really, who in their right mind wouldn't. Thank you Vera, for this series! Book 4 here I come!
