Corvus is a liar.
It's his unique ability. For as long as he can remember, people have believed anything and everything he tells them-but his memory spans only a year, since the bombing in London. His life before that is a mystery.
Virgo and Draco saved him then. They told him what they are: Star Children, teens with superhuman abilities granted by the stars themselves. With his friends by his side, Corvus has worked to use his power to protect the world from Perseus, one of their own.
But it wasn't enough to stop Perseus from destroying Rome. Now the Star Child prophesized to kill Perseus, Andromeda, has absconded to parts unknown, and Perseus is closer than ever to his goal of destroying Fate and Destiny themselves. No one knows his next move. No one knows what he's done with the ancient Prophecies he stole.
Corvus, Draco, and Virgo's desperate hunt for answers will require an uneasy partnership with the mischievous Gemini Twins and will take them from Egyptian ruins to the British Museum to the Oracle of Dodona in Greece. Their hunt will put them in the path of not only the wicked Hydra, but a creature far more dangerous: Cetus, the sea monster who haunts Corvus's nightmares.
What is Perseus looking for? How do you stop someone who already knows everything you're prophesized to do? Why does Perseus know more about Corvus than Corvus knows about himself? Corvus will have to remember his dark past before Perseus can use those lost memories to destroy him. And more troubling still-Corvus will have to discover why he purposefully erased his own past.
If Corvus is to save his friends, Fate, Destiny, and the world, the Liar will need to face the truth: There's no one he's lied to, cheated, deceived, and betrayed more than himself. Every lie has a price, and the price for the lies Corvus has told himself may destroy everyone he cares about.
Weaving together prophecy, astrology, and mythology into contemporary young adult fantasy, Corvus is the epic second installment of the Star Blood series.
