"A brilliant and breathless twist on classic mythology!" --Marissa
Meyer, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lunar
Chronicles
Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion,
nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted
by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and
seize their divine power and immortality.
Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the
hunt's promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a
rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against
the man--now a god--responsible for their deaths.
Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her
out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena,
one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded.
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to
leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt,
binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost--and it may not
be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity
to its knees.**
