De la autora de Mentes poderosas, superventas #1 del New York Times, llega una nueva historia sobre la ambición, el poder, el destino, el amor y la redención. Cada siete años comienza el agón. Como castigo por la rebelión, nueve dioses griegos son forzados a caminar por la Tierra, entre los mortales, mientras son perseguidos por cazadores, descendientes de antiguos linajes, con ansias de matar a un dios y hacerse con su poder divino y su inmortalidad. Hace mucho tiempo, Lore Perseus huyó de esa competición brutal a raíz del sádico asesinato de su familia por parte de un linaje rival, y dejó atrás las promesas de la caza de la gloria eterna. Durante años ha intentado evadir cualquier pensamiento de venganza hacia el hombre -ahora un dios- responsable de la muerte de su familia. Sin embargo, durante el último agón en Nueva York, dos participantes le piden ayuda: Cástor, su amigo de la infancia, a quien creía muerto, y Atenea, una de las últimas diosas originales, gravemente herida. La diosa le ofrece una alianza contra su enemigo común y, además, una forma de que Lore pueda dejar el agón en el pasado para siempre. Pero la decisión de Lore de vincular su destino al de Atenea y volver a unirse a la caza tendrá un coste mortal, y puede que no sea suficiente para detener la aparición de un nuevo dios con el poder de poner a la humanidad de rodillas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, 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 in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory. 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 out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. 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.
