Jace didn't want to help the girl standing out in the rain. He really didn't. He knew she would be trouble - the look on her face told him so. But when the minotaur started to chase the poor girl down the street, he was finally forced to step in. Unfortunately, Jace had been right about one thing: Layna was trouble. The orphaned Layna didn't even understand why she had the Sight, or the ability to see Greek monsters in their true forms, but less than 2 weeks after Jace saved her, she is forced to start a quest to fulfill a prophecy she knows nothing about. Nevertheless, Layna is determined to find out where she came from and to personally solve the mystery that surrounds her mentor, a troubled young hero named Alec. Things only seem to get worse when it is revealed that Alec accidentally intertwined all of the gods' spirits with his own, keeping the fallen Olympians from reincarnating as per usual. Now, Jace, Layna and a few of their friends will fight through thick and thin in order to fulfill the new prophecy, which takes them on a journey all the way across the country. Together they will discover Alec's deepest, darkest secrets and, of course, how the mighty ones fall. ***This is the SEQUEL to "The Forest Gods' Reign," which was formerly titled "Into the Woods...With the Greek Gods."
