Description
Eighteen-year-old Tina Porter has seen her fair share of troubles, but so have all the others who survived. For seven brutal years, Tina has been on her own, fighting for a chance to live every miserable day she can. However, with food becoming scarcer and another winter coming, she dreams of a new life far from Columbus. Finding the courage to act on her desire is something else entirely, until a handsome stranger appears.When he saves her from certain death, he claims he can offer her a better life far from the dangers of the city. Risking everything, Tina leaves the only home she's ever known with a man she knows nothing about, only to learn that she's been tricked. She wasn't saved to be taken to a better life at all. She was saved to be a guinea pig. Thinking Tina is the cure to an infection that has plagued the world, her captors want to use her for research.Locked away in an underground cell, Tina discovers that she's not the only one being used, and the truth is more far-fetched than she ever imagined. The truth is that the spirit of the Greek goddess Athena needs her help dealing a critical blow to her immortal enemy, Alexander the Great. If Tina helps her, life might dramatically improve. If not, she could be stuck in a cage for the rest of her life. The only problem is that helping Athena could be more dangerous than refusing her.
