However, if either of the two dies, the other one will too. She agrees to bind her fate to that of Athena, so giving her extra strength and resources. She also finds the goddess Athena brutally stabbed on her literal doorstep and when the goddess offers her a bargain that will allow her revenge on the man who is responsible, Lore is reluctant at first but realises that she can’t really refuse. She discovers that her old friend Castor didn’t die of leukemia after all, but is in fact not only strong and healthy but has taken on the mantle of Apollo after the last Agon. Now it seems, her past is determined to catch up with her. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. Her only friend is Miles, a young man completely unaware of her dangerous background. From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption. I even go for the popular ones, thinking I'll like them better.
