Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Therese watches her parents die. While in a coma, she meets the twin sons of Hades—Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death. She thinks she's manipulating a dream, not kissing the god of death and totally rocking his world. Than makes a deal with Hades and goes as a mortal to the Upperworld to try and win Therese's heart, but not all the gods are happy. Some give her gifts. Others try to kill her.The deal requires Therese to avenge the death of her parents. With the help of Than’s fierce and exotic sisters, the Furies, she finds herself in an arena face to face with the murderer, and only one will survive.

About this title

About the Author:

Eva Pohler is a USA Today bestselling author of over twenty novels for teens and adults.

Review:

The motivations, anguish, romance, and drive for revenge and resolution that permeates The Gatekeeper's Sons is satisfyingly diverse. Its setting offers mystery but also provides explanations for how romance evolves and how Therese's quest for justice becomes entangled in this process....Soon Therese finds that her destiny and her choices are being assessed by the gods and controlled by oaths and alliances far beyond her understanding. In the midst of all this a love grows up between a mortal and a god: a love that might offer no easy paths.

Midwestern Book Review

In this teen fantasy novel and love story, an orphaned girl finds herself at the center of a war brewing among the gods of Olympus.

. . . . Pohler's description of [Therese's parents'] deaths is gruesomely clear and heartbreaking. . . . . After this fast and eventful introduction . . . The entire pantheon of Greek gods picks sides, and, in an arena battle sure to thrill Hunger Games fans, Therese shows her mettle. The outcome neatly tees things up for the three books (at least) in the series still to come. --Kirkus Reviews
