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 and discovering
enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl
who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.
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.
Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on
feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.
The Goddess War is about to begin.
Why I want to read it: I love Greek mythology, thus this one it's right up my alley. I haven't read Anna Dressed in Blood, but I plan to remedy that soon... anyway this one is by the same author. Beautiful cover too, right?
What are you waiting for this week?
