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。
