Lore

This thrilling, outrageously ambitious story of power, destiny, love, and redemption is written by the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds.

The Agon starts every seven years. Nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as humans as retribution for a previous rebellion. They are pursued by the offspring of old lineages, who are all eager to murder a god in order to take their heavenly power and immortality.

Lore Perseous abandoned the hunt's promises of everlasting fame and left that cruel world long ago, after her family's terrible death at the hands of a competing line. She had suppressed any thoughts of taking vengeance on the man—now a god—who killed them for years.

However, when the next hunt approaches New York City, two of the participants—Castor, a childhood friend of Lore who was thought to be long dead, and Athena, one of the few remaining original gods—appear to need her assistance.

Finally, the goddess provides Lore with a means of permanently leaving the Agon behind by forming an alliance against their shared adversary. However, Lore's choice to join the hunt and tie her destiny to Athena's will be fatal, and it may not be enough to halt the emergence of a new deity who has the ability to destroy mankind.
