NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A critically acclaimed, multi-layered young adult romance set in the perilous days of World Wars I and II, where gods hold the fates—and the hearts—of four mortals in their hands.

“Pick an adjective—sweeping, sprawling, epic, Olympian—and yet none quite conveys the emotional width and depth of Julie Berry’s brilliant novel.”—The Washington Post

“Filled with humor, tragedy, romance, and myth.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network

They are Hazel, James, Aubrey, and Colette. A classical pianist from London, a British would-be architect-turned-soldier, a Harlem-born ragtime genius in the U.S. Army, and a Belgian orphan with a gorgeous voice and a devastating past. Their story, as told by goddess Aphrodite—who must spin the tale or face judgment on Mount Olympus—is filled with hope and heartbreak, prejudice and passion, and reveals that, though War is a formidable force, it’s no match for the transcendent power of Love.

This books is just outstanding. It’s narration is sophisticated and fascinating! I thoroughly enjoyed how the Olympians’ squabbles once again impacted the lives of people during WWI.

This book read like a unique experience and I for one loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version and how it animated each of the Olympian gods (Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, and Hades), as well as the four main characters during WWI, Audrey, Colette, James and Hazel.
