Young Adult Science Fiction
The more things change… Ten years ago, the gods of ancient mythology awoke all
around the world. The more things stay the same… This morning, seventeen-year-old Kyra Locke was late for
school.
But that’s 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 mankind’s relations with the gods. What is
unusual is Kyra’s 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 aren’t interested in Kyra’s
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 she’s going to clear her
father’s name and recover the missing relic before the
impending summer solstice. What’s at stake? Just the end of the world as Kyra knows
it.
