Synopsis

Hope has a deadly secret... Even though mortals think the gods have disappeared . . . Olympus still rules. Demigods have elite hunters who viciously kill monsters. And shadow-demons from the Underworld, the very harbingers of death, are tracking her. When tragedy destroys the only safety she’s ever known, all signs point to Hades’s demons. Or do they? Something doesn’t add up, and Hope needs answers. But now, someone knows she exists . . . Forced to hide, Hope pretends to be normal. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her secret safe— and her heart protected. But when Athan arrives, her world is turned upside down. With gods, demigods, and demons closing in, the question is... How long can a monster stay hidden in plain sight? Join Hope on her unforgettable journey to discover what it means to live and her daring fight to break Apollo’s curse.

About this title

About the Author

Raye Wagner writes young adult urban fantasy with a Greek mythology twist. She's a big fan of both the Percy Jackson series (shocker) and the Twilight saga (gasp), and those two series *might* have led her to pursue her dream of writing teen fiction. Raye's a big believer in realistic characters and draws on her background in healthcare to ensure that her strong protagonists are believably flawed and act rationally. She loves reading YA romantic fantasy so there's bound to be some kissing in her books. That being said, Raye writes for all ages, so it's clean romance. ;) Raye also relies heavily on her martial arts training to pen realistic fight scenes (3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do) with believable consequences.

Henley, Author of the bestselling Brilliant Darkness series         "A fast-paced read with myth and reality seamlessly woven together to create a story that will appeal to fans of Percy Jackson.
