Helen Hamilton has always known sheΓ―ΒΏΒ½s different from the other teens on tiny Nantucket, but itΓ―ΒΏΒ½s not until Lucas Delos moves to town that she realizes just how special she is. Facing Lucas in the halls of high school, HelenΓ―ΒΏΒ½s possessed by a powerful need to kill him--and she almost succeeds. But when their mutual hatred of each other transforms into desire, Helen and Lucas discover they are both Scions--descendants of Greek gods--and that their two families have for centuries been engaged in a deadly blood feud. As Lucas teaches Helen to use her powers, which include flying, controlling lightning, and an immunity to weapons (in addition to her gorgeous face, which sheΓ―ΒΏΒ½s inherited from a certain namesake whose own face Γ―ΒΏΒ½launched a thousand shipsΓ―ΒΏΒ½), the two grow ever closer--but can never be together until they find a way around the curse thatΓ―ΒΏΒ½s destined to keep them apart.
