THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLER"Epic from start to finish." --Marie Lu, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Warcross"A brilliant and breathless twist on classic mythology!" --Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lunar Chronicles 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 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, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. 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 her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. 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.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.Author: Alexandra BrackenPublisher: Disney HyperionPublished: 01/05/2021Pages: 480Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.72lbsSize: 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.70dISBN: 9781484778203Age Range: 12-UPAccelerated Reader:Reading Level: 6Point Value: 23Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 511263 / LoreReview Citation(s): Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 12/01/2020Kirkus Reviews 11/15/2020Publishers Weekly 11/23/2020Booklist 01/01/2021 pg. 68Shelf Awareness 01/29/2021School Library Journal 02/01/2021 pg. 74About the AuthorAlexandra Bracken is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds series and Passenger series.
