Young Adult Science Fiction
The more things changeβ¦ Ten years ago, the gods of ancient mythology awoke all around the world. The more things stay the sameβ¦ This morning, seventeen-year-old Kyra Locke was late for school. But thatβs 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 mankindβs relations with the gods. What is unusual is Kyraβs 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 arenβt interested in Kyraβs 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 sheβs going to clear her fatherβs name and recover the missing relic before the impending summer solstice. Whatβs at stake? Just the end of the world as Kyra knows it.
