Set Fire to the Gods by Sara Raasch and Kristen Simmons

Ash is descended from a long line of gladiators, and she knows the brutal nature of war firsthand. But after her mother dies in an arena, Ash vows to take action against her fire god, whose temper has stripped her country of its resource. Madoc grew up fighting on the streets to pay his family's taxes. But he hides a dangerous secret. He doesn't have the earth god's powers like his opponents. His elemental gift is something else- something that hasn't been seen in centuries. 

When an attempted revenge plot goes dangerously wrong, Ash inadvertently throws the two gods into a conflict that can be settled only by deadly, lavish gladiator games, landing Madoc directly in Ash's path. She realizes that his powers are the weapon her rebellion needs - but Madoc won't jeopardize his family, regardless of how intrigued he is by the beautiful warrior.

But when the gods force Madoc's hand, he and Ash uncover an ancient war that will threaten more than one immortal-it will unravel the world. - Back cover
