Publisher Description

International bestselling author Josephine Angelini concludes her action-packed Starcrossed trilogy with Goddess--a romantically-charged page-turner that Newsday raved was a "clever reworking of Greek mythology."After Helen Hamilton accidentally unleashes the violent gods from their captivity on Olympus, she and her friends must imprison them before their thirst for war--and blood--take over the world. But the gods' fury already has a body count, and time is running out. With Lucas Delos's life hanging in the balance, and their once-solid group of friends now divided, Helen must face this battle alone, while also deciding who has her heart--Lucas, or the possible Tyrant, Orion.With a masterfully-woven plot and epically-high stakes, the compelling twists and turns in Goddess will leave readers completely spellbound.

Back Cover

Can you change your fate? The gods' thirst for war already has a body count--and Helen is plagued with visions of destruction. She must find a way to imprison them once again, or risk unleashing immeasurable chaos. Her powers are increasing--and so is the distance between Helen and her mortal friends. Uncertain whether to fear or revere her, the once-solid group divides. To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a dangerous Tyrant is lurking among them . . . and all fingers point to Orion. Still unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for an all-out war is coming to her shores. Starcrossed and Dreamless are international bestsellers. Now Josephine Angelini delivers a thrilling conclusion to this epic trilogy of love, hate, revenge, and fate. With worlds built just as quickly as they crumble, a goddess must rise above it all in a final battle to change a destiny written in the stars.
