Game of Gods — Michele Amitrani

Whichever god wins the game… we lose. King Cecrops is haunted by a nightmare: his city, Cecropia, falling to rubble and his subjects dying at the hands of a treacherous god. Troubling news has reached him. Countless cities across the Greek world are facing insurmountable odds: pestilences, floods, wars, and cataclysms of epic proportions on a scale never seen before. The Olympians have started a bloody contest to see which one among them will name each city—with catastrophic consequences for the mortals who inhabit them. And the gods are coming for Cecropia next. Now Cecrops faces a choice: either he finds a way to rig the god's game or witnesses his worst nightmare becoming reality. With the future of his homeland at stake, the king must deal with a threat capable of destroying not only Cecropia, but the entire Greek world.
