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 descendants of ancient bloodlines who seek 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 sadistically murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man—now a god—responsible for her family's slaughter.

But as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods.

The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. Binding her fate to Athena's and rejoining the hunt will come at a deadly cost—and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption.
