About the book

The perfect start to the Starcrossed series. Dive into the world of modern-day demigods with a dazzling enemies-to-lovers novel from bestselling author Josephine Angelini. This Greek mythology series is ideal for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Chloe Gong.
New York City, 1993. It wasn’t Daphne’s choice to move into the heart of a struggle that has been secretly waging for thirty-three hundred years, but not much in her life has been up to her. Fate has brought Daphne, daughter of Zeus, and Heir to the House of Atreus to where the descendants of the Greek gods can shed blood over her once again.Men are fated to kill for her.
But New York holds a surprise for Daphne and her cursed face—the same one that once launched a thousand ships. A series of murals painted all over town mysteriously pull at her in ways she can't understand. That’s because the artist is Ajax Delos, Son of Apollo, Scion of the House of Thebes, and Daphne’s mortal enemy.
She found the one worth dying for.
With the Fates manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard, Daphne and Ajax must find a way to break the cycle of destruction set in motion by their ancestors before the walls of Troy, or risk becoming yet another pair of star-crossed lovers doomed to repeat the same fatal mistakes.

    Ich bin absolut verwirrt

    Okay, wer kennt noch die Göttlich Reihe? Das war früher eine meiner liebsten Jugendbuchreihen, und als ich erfahren habe, dass es dieses Buch gibt – die Vorgeschichte zur Trilogie, in der es um Helens Mutter Daphne geht – war ich sofort Feuer und Flamme. Ich konnte Daphne in der Trilogie nie leiden, aber nach diesem Buch? WOW!!! Ich habe so viele Fragen, und die letzten Seiten haben mich komplett fertig gemacht. Jetzt muss ich die gesamte Trilogie nochmal lesen – und auch die weiteren Bücher, die die Autorin Jahre später veröffentlicht hat!
