Book Overview


The perfect start to the Starcrossed series.

Dive into the world of modern-day demigods with a dazzling enemies-to-lovers novel from bestselling author Josephine Angelini. This Greek mythology series is ideal for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Chloe Gong.

New York City, 1993. It wasn't Daphne's choice to move into the heart of a struggle that has been secretly waging for thirty-three hundred years, but not much in her life has been up to her. Fate has brought Daphne, daughter of Zeus, and Heir to the House of Atreus to where the descendants of the Greek gods can shed blood over her once again.

Men are fated to kill for her.

But New York holds a surprise for Daphne and her cursed face-the same one that once launched a thousand ships. A series of murals painted all over town mysteriously pull at her in ways she can't understand. That's because the artist is Ajax Delos, Son of Apollo, Scion of the House of Thebes, and Daphne's mortal enemy.

She found the one worth dying for.

With the Fates manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard, Daphne and Ajax must find a way to break the cycle of destruction set in motion by their ancestors before the walls of Troy, or risk becoming yet another pair of star-crossed lovers doomed to repeat the same fatal mistakes.

Starcrossed is BACK

Scions, the prequel to Josephine Angelini’s Starcrossed trilogy follows Daphne, a descendant of Zeus, as she grapples, literally and figuratively, with loving someone should not. Angelini takes Daphne, a character often viewed as a sort of villain in the original trilogy, and humanizes her. In Scions, readers experience Daphne's every thought and emotion, creating a personal relationship between reader and protagonist. This shows how much of said humanity Daphne has lost compared to her personality in the original trilogy. Daphne’s “humanization” comes partly from Ajax, her personal beam of light (and my personal favorite character) in an otherwise bleak existence. Daphne and Ajax’s relationship, and the lengths they go to sustain it, create great tension, especially since we all know that nothing perfect can last forever. From the vivid world-building to the 90s references, Scions was such a fun read. In my opinion, you can read Scions without having read the original trilogy and not be confused. That is how well the novel is written. The story flowed very well and left me wondering how the events of Daphne’s story play into both the original trilogy and the books to come. It is safe to say that I am SO ready for the next novel.
