She can end it all - but at what cost? Kris Young wants nothing more than to be a normal girl. Thrust into a life she did not ask for, and faced with a future that she does not want, she sets off an adventure that she hopes will lead to her freedom. With her best friend's life, the future of the Kala-Skotadi war, and her own soul at stake, failure is not an option. Old and new allies unite on a quest against the demigods and Kris's half-sister, Circe, the mastermind behind it all.
