Synopsis
Mythology meets Dystopia in this super-hot novel!
Piper's world is dying . . .
Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the Earth. Amid this Global Heating Crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.
Piper discovers a world she never knew existed . . . a sphere of gods and monsters . . . and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper's life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.
Don't miss this first installment in The Dying Earth series perfect for fans of mythology and dystopia!

About the Author
P. J. (Tricia) Hoover wanted to be a Jedi, but when that didn't work out, she became an electrical engineer instead. After a fifteen year bout designing computer chips for a living, P. J. started creating worlds of her own. She's the award-winning author of Tut: The Story of My Immortal Life, featuring a fourteen-year-old King Tut who's stuck in middle school, and Solstice, a super-hot twist on the Hades/Persephone myth. When not writing, P. J. spends time with her husband and two kids and enjoys practicing kung fu, solving Rubik's cubes, and watching Star Trek. For more information about P. J.
