Пра гэту электронную кнігу
A New York Times–bestselling author “presents a gory, thrilling vision of the twilight of the gods, in all their pettiness and power” in this YA thriller (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Old Gods never die . . .
Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.
Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess.
These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.
Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.
The Goddess War is about to begin.
“Blake’s spunky and imaginative narrative illuminates the personalities of the gods, especially Athena, who’s gone a bit punk and is endowed with wry humor. . . . readers will want to stay tuned.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A great start . . . the cliffhanger ensures that I will be impatiently waiting for the sequel.” —USA Today
