description: From 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.Every seven years the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.Long ago Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man--now a god--responsible for their deaths.Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City two participants seek out her help: Castor a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead and a gravely wounded Athena among the last of the original gods.The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and at last a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to bind her fate to Athena's and rejoin 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.
