💬 Are you a fan of Greek Mythology? . Thank you to @disneybooks for gifting me this copy of Lore by @alexbracken, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds. . I absolutely love reading books that include Greek mythology, and I’m so excited that Lore is now out in the world!! While writing Lore, Bracken drew on her childhood love of Greek mythology as well as her own Greek heritage. This novel turns the misogyny and violence against women running through Greek mythology on its head, reclaiming the hero's journey and reversing our ideas about heroes and monsters. And don’t forget about the steamy romance!! Grab your copy today! It’s available in hardcover, e-book, and audio! . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory. For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man–now a god–responsible for their deaths. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore’s decision to bind her fate to Athena’s and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost–and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #LoretheNovel #alexandrabracken #disneybooks #greekmythology #greekmyth #yareads #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #cozyvibes #cozynook #cozyness #cosyreading #readersofinstagram #readersgonnaread #toberead #alwaysreading #bibliophilelife #onthebed https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ08xFiHiu0/?igshid=1qhdtz82jq0ds
