The more things changeโฆ Ten years ago, the gods of ancient mythology awoke all around the world. The more things stay the sameโฆ This morning, seventeen-year-old Kyra Locke was late for school. But thatโs not out of the ordinary in a transformed Washington, D.C., dominated by the embassies of divine pantheons and watched over by the mysterious Society of the Sun that governs mankindโs relations with the gods. What is unusual is Kyraโs encounter with two trickster gods on her way home, one offering a threat, and the other a warning. Kyra escapes with the aid of young operatives from the Society, who inform her that her scholarly father has disappeared from its headquarters at the Library of Congress and taken a dangerous Egyptian relic with him. The Society needs the item back, and they arenโt interested in Kyraโs protests that she knows nothing about it. Now Kyra must depend on her wits and the help of everyone from a paranoid ex-boyfriend to scary Sumerian gods to operatives whose allegiance is first and always to the Society. She has no choice if sheโs going to clear her fatherโs name and recover the missing relic before the impending summer solstice. Whatโs at stake? Just the end of the world as Kyra knows it.
