There are lots of stories about the children of gods. What about those cursed by the gods, and their descendants…
El, a seventeen-year-old, has inherited an ancient and deadly power. She loses control of it, causing a horrific accident, and is hunted by a secret organisation known as the Order.
Forced from her family and home, she hides in plain sight amidst the crowds of London, and is thrust into a world she never knew existed; one full of arete, beings with extraordinary powers like hers. As she learns more about the arete world, the line between friend and foe becomes dangerously blurred.
Descendants is the first book in the Young Adult, Urban Fantasy trilogy: The Arete Series.
