Goddess

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.

One girl holds the fate of the world in her hands—and her heart is torn in two.

• Starcrossed Lovers: Helen and Lucas are fated to be together, but a powerful curse—and their own families—stand in their way. Is their love strong enough to defy destiny itself?
• Forbidden Love: She believes Lucas is her cousin, a love that’s strictly forbidden. But the mysterious Orion offers a different, and perhaps darker, temptation.
• Gods of Olympus Unleashed: After being accidentally freed by Helen, the ancient gods are wreaking havoc on the mortal world, and only she has the power to stop their reign of terror.
• A World of Prophecy and Peril: With Lucas’s life on the line and a prophecy naming Orion as a potential Tyrant, every choice Helen makes could be her last… and the world’s.

After accidentally releasing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to imprison them once again, or risk unleashing immeasurable chaos. But with her once-solid group of friends now divided, Helen is left on her own to set things right.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a dangerous Tyrant is lurking among them . . . and all fingers point to Orion. Unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is faced with a terrifying decision, for an all-out war is coming to her shores.

praise for STARCROSSED: “One of the most cinematic books I’ve ever read. Dramatic and intense! I can’t tell you how many times I gasped while reading this book. Starcrossed plays out like a movie in your head.” - Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of FIRELIGHT

praise for DREAMLESS: This fantastical dual-world page-turner introduces more abhorrent mythological creatures while reuniting readers with Helen’s supportive high-school friends, as well as the crazy Delos family, who anchor her between the real and mythological worlds. - Booklist

praise for DREAMLESS: “Romance alternates with fast-paced action from above and below. There is a healthy dose of classical deus ex machine and tantalizing hints of a third book in which all-out war erupts. Dreamless and its sequel will be well-liked by fans of contemporary renderings of classical mythology.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

praise for STARCROSSED: “Helen always returns in her mind to the story of Oedipus: You meet your fate on the road you were taking to avoid it. Hers is a road I’m eager to travel; the second book in this series, Dreamless, is slated for May 2012 - not soon enough, as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t wanted a second book so much since The Hunger Games. - Los Angeles Times
