Lore

Lore is a thrilling young adult fantasy novel set in a contemporary New York City where ancient Greek gods are forced to become mortal and hunted by descendants of ancient bloodlines every seven years. The story follows Lore Perseous, who fled this brutal world after her family was murdered. When the next hunt begins, she is pulled back into the fray by a childhood friend and a wounded goddess, Athena, to seek revenge and prevent a new god from gaining catastrophic power. This book is ideal for readers aged 12-18 who enjoy mythology, high-stakes adventure, and complex moral dilemmas. It explores themes of grief, revenge, loyalty, and the corrupting nature of power, all wrapped in a fast-paced, action-packed narrative.

Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man-now a god-responsible for their deaths. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost-and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.
