Eighteen-year-old Tina Porter has been alone for seven years. Ever since the invasion, the bombs, and the infection. With every day being a struggle for survival, she longs for more while knowing she will never get it. As another brutal winter approaches, Tina fears that it might be her last. All that changes though when an ill-fated food run turns into the chance she has been waiting for.

 

When a total stranger saves her from certain death, he offers her a better life far from the dangers of the city. Risking everything, Tina leaves behind the only home she has ever known with a man she knows nothing about only to learn that she’s been tricked. She was not whisked away for a better life but to become a human guinea pig. Thinking Tina is a cure to the infection that has plagued the world, her captors intend to use her as research.

 

Locked away in an underground prison cell, Tina learns that she isn’t the only one being used, and the truth is more far-fetched than she ever imagined. She comes face to face with the supposed leader of her captors. The goddess Athena. She needs help dealing a critical blow to her immortal enemy, Alexander the Great. If Tina agrees to help, life may dramatically improve for her. If not, she risks being stuck in a cage for the rest of her life. The only problem is that helping Athena might be more dangerous than refusing her.
