In a small, idyllic town in North Dakota, 17-year-old Ophelia Johnson and five other teens inherit the powers of the Greek gods—Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Artemis, Apollo, and Ares—and embark on a mission from the Vessel of Destiny to find the missing Fates, restore the Codex, and save the ancient world.
“From start to glimmering finish, this is a novel with unstoppable light, unflinching spirit, and remarkable skill. What a debut!” –Ashley M. Jones, Poet Laureate, State of Alabama
“Of Blood and Lightning sizzles with excitement as a diverse group of high schoolers are swept into a world of myths . . . An engrossing epic novel.” —Foreword Reviews
