After accidentally
unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a
way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods
are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.
To
make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is
lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of
friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life
hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen
is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her
shores.
In Josephine Angelini’s compelling conclusion to the
masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all
to change a destiny that’s been written in the stars. With worlds built
just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle
that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched.

time to exact revenge against those who betrayed her.
One day
