Alexandria is not sure that she will make it to her eighteenth birthday - until her Awakening. A long-forgotten fanatical order is trying to kill her, and if the Council ever finds out what she did in the Caskills, she's lost... and so is Aiden. If that's not scary enough, when Alex and Seth "train" together - actually for Seta is only a code name for spending time alone with her - she receives another Apollyon sign, which puts her one step closer to Awakening before her time. Amazing. But her birthday approaches, her whole world is turned upside down, and she is trapped between love and destiny. Odin will do anything to protect her. One lied to her from the very beginning. When the gods reveal themselves and unleash their fury, lives will be irreversibly changed... and destroyed. Those who remain will discover that love is stronger than Fate.
