Textul de pe ultima copertă
The curse only she can break . . .
The scion who shields her from danger . . .
The temptation that may trigger a war . . .
As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton must wander Hades by night in order to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. Without Lucas by her side, she's pushed to a physical and emotional breaking point. Then, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and undeniably gorgeous, Orion protects her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, as the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one. But even as her life becomes a hell of chaos, the hardest part of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.

Recenzii
“A gorgeous, haunting saga that completely swept me away.” — Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselilng author of Fallen
“A supreme mix of mythology, brutal action and heart rending romance. The perfect summer read.” — Chicklish (blog)
“One of the most cinematic books I’ve ever read. Dramatic and intense! I can’t tell you how many times I gasped while reading this book. Starcrossed plays out like a movie in your head.” — Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of FIRELIGHT
Romance alternates with fast-paced action from above and below. There is a healthy dose of classical deus ex machine and tantalizing hints of a third book in which all-out war erupts. Dreamless and its sequel will be well-liked by fans of contemporary renderings of classical mythology. — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
This fantastical dual-world page-turner introduces more abhorrent mythological creatures while reuniting readers with Helen’s supportive high-school friends, as well as the crazy Delos family, who anchor her between the real and mythological worlds. — Booklist
“Compelling…Brutal…This romantic, action-packed tale will appeal to ‘Percy Jackson’ fans who are ready for more mature fare.” — School Library Journal
