"Move over, Percy Jackson, there's a new girl in town." - Booklist
Freya is a goddess from a centuries-old mythology. And she's about to make one hell of a comeback.
There's far more to Sara Vanadi than meets the eye. In her prime, she was Freya, the Norse goddess of love, beauty, war, and death - though that past hardly seems to matter now. For an ancient goddess in the 21st century, true believers - and the strength they bring - are painfully hard to find.
But when a new, rising power threatens to remake the world by bending the divine to its will, Sara realizes her days of hiding have ended, and a chance to claw her way out of the history books has arrived. She'll just need new clothes and a manicure before she gets started.
Blending elements of fantasy and scifi in a modern-world setting, this first novel in a new young adult series is perfect for fans of spellbinding YA novels inspired by history and myth.

"Adrenaline-infused adventure." - School Library Journal
"Boatloads of action, villains who are at once familiar and original in their quests for world domination, and a savvy team of multireligious goddesses make for a kick-ass adventure situated between science and belief." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)
