Young Adult Paranormal Romance

Series: Starcrossed

Age range 14+

The dazzling prequel to the Starcrossed series, the #1 international bestselling trilogy. Perfect for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Chloe Gong.

New York City, 1993. It wasn’t Daphne’s choice to move into the heart of a struggle that has been secretly waging for thirty-three hundred years, but not much in her life has been up to her. Fate has brought Daphne, daughter of Zeus, and Heir to the House of Atreus to where the descendants of the Greek gods can shed blood over her once again.

Men are fated to kill for her.

But New York holds a surprise for Daphne and her cursed face—the same one that once launched a thousand ships. A series of murals painted all over town mysteriously pull at her in ways she can't understand. That’s because the artist is Ajax Delos, Son of Apollo, Scion of the House of Thebes, and Daphne’s mortal enemy.

She found the one worth dying for.

With the Fates manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard, Daphne and Ajax must find a way to break the cycle of destruction set in motion by their ancestors before the walls of Troy, or risk becoming yet another pair of star-crossed lovers doomed to repeat the same fatal mistakes.

'It was such a treat to return to the world of Starcrossed — a world of feuding demigods, forbidden love, and epic drama. Josephine Angelini’s series gives the Trojan War a captivating makeover for the modern age.' — Katharine McGee, New York Times bestselling author of American Royals

'This delightful (delicious!) 90's throwback will reunite fans of the Starcrossed series with some of their favorite Scions and pave the way for new readers to discover the fantastic world that launched Angelini onto the literary scene with her popular debut. A semi-historical with sassy demigods, and a secret world on the brink of war, Scions has everything teen readers could want.' — Aprilynne Pike, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wings series

'Exciting, ambitious, and with characters you will absolutely fall in love with. This page-turner is Josephine Angelini's best yet!' — Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe

'Electrifying, action-packed story-telling with sworn enemies to lovers, Greek Gods, and an ending that’s going to have you reaching for the next book. Buckle-up, y’all. This is a definite must-read!' — Aileen Erin, USA Today bestselling author of the Alpha Girl series

'This binge read will give you all the feels. An epic romance that captured my heart and kept me glued to the page from the start.' — Amy Plum, international bestselling author of Die For Me
