“Be Strong. Be Fierce. Be Immortal.”

That’s what the handsome, athletic stranger promised when he invited Crystal Lunsford to his high-end gym, Mount Olympus, known for its signature sports drink, Ambrosia—a drink that offers an intoxicating surge of energy and an obsession with working out. It’s exactly the kind of escape Crystal craves to outrun her dark spiral of self-destruction and the memory of her ex Jace’s cruel, echoing taunts. Jace is dead, but his hateful words—"Fat pig. Fat pig.”—still claw at her mind.

But beneath the gym’s glossy exterior lies a darkness she can’t ignore. Mount Olympus seems too perfect to be real—and maybe it is. Members are behaving oddly. Vanishing. Her memories are fading and her addiction is spiraling out of control. With her life—and her humanity—at stake, can Crystal triumph over her inner demons in order to escape the grip of Mount Olympus—or will she lose more than just weight?
