From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds comes a high-octane story
of power destiny and redemption. A lifetime ago Lore Perseous left behind the brutal opulent
world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game
every seven years. A game that is about to begin again ... 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. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain
the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended. After her family's sadistic
murder by a rival bloodline Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one
thing - surviving. 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. Except for one week every seven years. A week that is fast approaching ... 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. But as the world trembles
under the force of Wrath - a god with the power to destroy all of humanity - will Lore's
decision to bind her fate with Athena's come back to haunt her?
