About this ebook

Selene DiSilva, goddess of the hunt, squares off against a killer who threatens the very existence of the gods themselves in this stunning sequel to Jordanna Max Brodsky's The Immortals, "a lively re-imaging of classical mythology." (Deborah Harkness)

Winter in New York: snow falls, lights twinkle, and a very disgruntled Selene DiSilva prowls the streets, knowing that even if she doesn't look for trouble, it always finds her.

When a dead body is discovered sprawled atop Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull statue, it's up to Selene to hunt down the perpetrators. Her ancient skills make her the only one who can track a conspiracy that threatens the very existence of the gods, including Selene, who was once known as Artemis.

Ratings and reviews

As good as the first book, Immortals, was, this books was an absolute mess. Luckily Brodsky is both an excellent researcher and an excellent writer. The smoothness of the prose is about the only thing holding this ramshackle, ridiculous plot and characterization together. The characters continually make poor choices, and through the magic of deus ex deus it works out exactly when the author needs it to. Ultimately, the books was highly unsatisfying, completely unlike the original.

At first, I read reviews that stated the ending was not good,but I disagree. I liked the ending and the twist. As always, her knowledge of greek, latian, and religious history is great. Love learning new things. As always, Artemis is my fav!

I could not stop reading! I purchased all 3 books, they went together seamlessly. Excellent writing and expressions. Truthfully, I wish there were more!
