As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals.

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.

I can't pick up what's going on these days," the sources said, swaying his head sadly," but I found a feeling something strange is behind it.In most cases the hero of the story has to fall out is usually the difficult path, the more upright style. He never experiences a quick death'. For example, in Leon's case, his beliefs are genuine. He's not just a wizard, but humanitarian. He believes if necessary, he must sacrifice himself on the cold slab of the heathen altar. In more than one instance, he was willing to perish by a blade he had honed, wielded by the very arm that had given strength skill and consciousness." "An intuitive feeling has risen in the world's heart today that somehow our lives are one." The prolific author spoke of an idea that he had envisioned remotely in his psyche. He envisioned the omniscient potent foe unsheathing his terrible anger and disappointment. . Blackthorne illustrated how there are no unrelated, warring factions, somewhere a splendid unity exists behind the apparent diversity.

Still, no story is complete without including the feminine factions. Bards gal pal referred to as Quill, who is an alluring young sorceress. Meanwhile, she stood in the company of two beautiful ferries called Erin and Leda. Erin commented to Quill. " Our alibi's sound so good in theory, but in reality, what we experience is a different means of narrating the story." Leon nodded. However, Quill explained. I can't help the rumination of my thoughts." For a minute there was no response. Leda remarked, "my gut feeling informs me that this trip delivers a few glitches, is about more than just some ancient relic." " Stop that" Erin said. " I suffer a strange impression, whatever or wherever it is we're being summoned there." Leda's eyes opened full. " My curiosities got me., why are we summoned and for what person purpose?" Leon commented. " Simmer down ladies, it's best to catch some rest before the big day"
