About the Book

Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas is the instant New York Times bestselling, overnight viral sensation — a sarcastically funny, dark fantasy romance reimagining of Hercules from bestselling author Jasmine Mas. The first novel in the Villains of Lore series, the book merges fantasy with mythology, following Alexis Hert, a young foster child who uncovers her Spartan heritage in a dystopian world controlled by a dozen influential Spartan families, where ancient mythology merges with modern threats.

I'm just a girl. And it turns out, I'm Hercules. Alexis struggles to survive in a Titan-infested world where Spartans — immortals from twelve royal families with god-like powers and obscene wealth — rule over all. A shy, stammering foster child with nothing, she keeps her head down and focuses on excelling in school, until her blood test reveals she's part of the powerful elite: a Spartan. Alexis discovers her true identity as a Chthonic Spartan, a direct descendant of Hades and Persephone, forcing her into the chaotic Spartan Federation, divided between Immortal Olympians and Chthonic Spartans tasked with fighting the Titans. Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, she undergoes the most harrowing test of all time to see if she has what it takes to become immortal — with gladiators Achilles and Patro as her demanding mentors, while Augustus and Kharon, her professors and the brooding heirs to the underworld, haunt her steps and her thoughts.

The book explores themes of identity, power dynamics, and survival, with Alexis evolving from a marginalized orphan into a formidable member of the Spartan elite. Marketed as a dark romantasy for readers who love extreme enemies-to-lovers dynamics, a strong heroine, and morally gray alpha heroes, the series continues with its sequel, Bonds of Hercules.
