Deina is a clever, resourceful hero who, along with her multifaceted companions, believably changes as secrets, betrayals, and true identities are revealed. Coauthored by sisters, this dark duology opener gives a familiar genre a fresh twist, blending a variety of myths and stories from ancient Greek and Mycenaean history into a stunning backdrop for an epic tale of meddling gods and ambitious humans.

Action-packed . . . a darker successor to Percy Jackson.

Steeped in blood, betrayal, and mysticism, this is a deliciously dark tale of legendary proportions—a book of smart, savage beauty that kept me reading long into the night.

A beautiful, breathtaking adventure through the world of ancient Greece and the Greek myths. Daughter of the Underworld puts a twisty, surprising spin on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, with plenty of heartache and betrayal and a trickster heroine who had me rooting for her from the very first line. Now . . . when can I read the next one?!

It’s gory, it’s fun, it’s heartbreaking, it’s funny, and it’s a very good read.
