Dreamless

StarHearts, as fans of Josephine Angelini call themselves, will stay up all night reading Dreamless, the second book in the bestselling Starcrossed series. The saga mixes mythology, romance, action, and intrigue in a completely original way.

Dreamless continues the story of Helen Hamilton, a shy girl living on Nantucket Island whose desire for an ordinary life was thwarted when she discovered she is a Scion, a descendant of a Greek god and a mortal. Each Scion has a power, and Helen’s is the ability to travel to Hades.

Helen is determined to use her talent to stop a war amongst the gods and change her destiny, which is to live a life patterned after that of the tragic Helen of Troy. But her quest may cost her Lucas Delios, the boy she loves.

• Forbidden Love: They’re first cousins, and an ancient curse is determined to keep them apart. But every moment Helen and Lucas share proves their connection is more powerful than any destiny.
• A Modern Mythology Retelling: Set on the windswept island of Nantucket, this YA fantasy brings the epic drama of Greek gods and demigods into the contemporary world.
• An Epic Quest: To change a tragic destiny patterned after Helen of Troy, Helen must journey into the Underworld to stop a war that could tear both the mortal and divine worlds apart.
• Love Triangle: Just as her relationship with Lucas becomes impossible, a mysterious new ally appears in her desolate nights. But can she trust him, or is he just another part of the gods’ dangerous game?
