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. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. 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.

For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man-now a god-responsible for their deaths. 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. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. 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.īook Synopsis THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLERįrom the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption.
