There has never been anything like her. Jessica Stone is between worlds. College is over, and serious employment looms on the horizon. A vacation to a remote Greek island with her best friend, Becca Frost, is exactly what she needs to cleanse her palate before the rest of her life starts—at least that’s what Becca tells her. When her best friend vanishes from the island paradise, only Jessica believes Becca’s life is in danger; to the local authorities the missing woman is just another foreign party girl. The quest to find her best friend drags her into a world steeped in mythology, where the impossible is both probable and deadly, where alliances shift constantly and unpredictably. Her own allies are few, and their motives are suspect—at best. The most tempting is the darkly handsome Theo Lepidas, a man who smolders with secrets. He can help Jess … for a price she doesn’t believe she can pay. Soon Jessica is fighting for her life so she can fulfill the destiny the Fates chose for her at birth—a destiny that will end in her murder at the hands of Greece’s old gods. less
