When Lore comes home on the first night of the Agon to find Athena gravely wounded on her doorstep, the goddess offers her an alliance they have a mutual enemy, after all. For seven years, she has pushed back dark thoughts of revenge against the man responsible for their murder, a man by the name of Wrath who has attained unimaginable power. After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended. Ones an unkempt carpenter and the other is a magical elephant man. Im not trying to besmirch Jesus here, but compare Jesus to Ganesh. For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week, and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. The chuiael is a Hindu succubus, so that has to be fun, since the Hindu religion is pretty much the coolest one in the world from a creative standpoint. A lifetime ago, Lore Pertho left behind the brutal, opulent world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game every seven years. From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of THE DARKEST MINDS comes a high-octane story of power, destiny, and redemption.
