Every seven years the Agon takes place. During this week, nine ancient gods appear on the earth as mortals. If you kill one, you receive the god’s power. Lore has been hiding since the slaughter of her family. This year however, she has been found by not one but two people from her past. Castor comes into the ring to spar with her. She was startled since she thought he was dead for these past seven years. On her way home, she and her friend Miles follow a blood trail leading to Lore’s brownstone. Leaning at the top of the stairs is the goddess Athena suffering from a severe stab wound.
To be honest, I picked up this book because of the cover. I love anything to do with Medusa and the image on the cover was intriguing. The book is written in third person point of view and the characters are very developed. The book jumps back into Lore’s past as she trains with the Achillides bloodline then back to the present. If you like Percy Jackson and other mythological stories, you will enjoy this book.
