      Una antigua disputa entre familias. Una historia que se repite. Helen Hamilton se ha pasado sus 16 años de vida intentando esconder lo diferente que es, una tarea nada fácil en una isla tan pequeña como Nantucket y que se está volviendo cada vez más difícil. Las pesadillas sobre una travesía en el desierto hacen que se levante agotada y con sus sábanas manchadas de tierra. En la escuela, tiene alucinaciones de tres mujeres que lloran lágrimas de sangre; y lo último cuando se cruza con Lucas Delos por los pasillos del instituto, no puede reprimir un impulso asesino que la lleva a atacar al nuevo -y guapísimo- chico. Claro, que lo que ninguno de los dos saben es que están destinados a enfrentarse y convertirse en los últimos protagonistas de una historia que no ha cesado de repetirse durante milenios.

    • The third and final book in the internationally bestselling Starcrossed series.

      Goddess
    • International bestselling author Josephine Angelini concludes her action-packed Starcrossed trilogy with Goddess—a romantically-charged page-turner that Newsday raved was a "clever reworking of Greek mythology." After Helen Hamilton accidentally unleashes the violent gods from their captivity on Olympus, she and her friends must imprison them before their thirst for war—and blood—take over the world. But the gods' fury already has a body count, and time is running out. With Lucas Delos's life hanging in the balance, and their once-solid group of friends now divided, Helen must face this battle alone, while also deciding who has her heart—Lucas, or the possible Tyrant, Orion. With a masterfully-woven plot and epically-high stakes, the compelling twists and turns in Goddess will leave readers completely spellbound.

    • "Come to me, Dreamless one. I miss holding you in my arms... "Tasked with descending to the underworld and killing the furies so that the Scions can stop fighting amongst themselves, Helen must endure hellish torture whenever she goes to sleep - she wanders around the various levels of hell with no idea how to complete her task, and she's beginning to suffer from extreme exhaustion. Although she still trains with the Delos clan, Helen and Lucas are coming to terms with the fact that they cannot be together. Lucas believes that the only way Helen will complete her quest is if he leaves her alone completely, so he tells her he doesn't want to see her again and that he never loved her. Distraught, Helen carries on with her mission, and for the first time meets another person down in the shadowy underworld: Orion, descended from Adonis and with the power to control desire, he is the heir to the house of Rome and an outcast. He's also kind of hot. Confused by her conflicting emotions but glad to have an ally in hell, Helen begins to realise the enormity of her task...

Thrust once again into a society different from anything they have ever seen, Lily and her coven are determined to find answers to find a new path to victory, a way to defeat the monstrous Woven without resorting to nuclear weapons or becoming a tyrannical mass murderer like her alternate self, Lillian. But sometimes winning requires sacrifices . . . and when the only clear path to victory lies at Lillian's side, what price will Lily be willing to pay?
