Lore will appeal to a wide variety of readers, but especially to those who have an interest/knowledge in Greek mythology.

But Lore’s decision to bind her fate to Athena’s and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost - and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man–now a god–responsible for their deaths. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory.

As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek walk the earth as mortals, hunted by those eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Alexandra Bracken’s Lore follows the descendants of ancient bloodlines as they hunt down Greek gods forced to live as mortals.Įvery seven years, the Agon begins. What if the gods of ancient Greece were still alive? What if they still visit Earth? And what if mere humans were all that was standing between death and immortality.
