Ryder has finally decided to take her life into her own hands but things don’t always turn out as they seem. Ollie and Ari have made a pact that leaves Ryder alone until she chooses her soul mate. But she can’t pick until she ends the curse that looms over her every day. Although her new roommate at Demi God Academy is her exact opposite, Kara is able to teach Ryder to trust again and gives her a chance to have real high school experiences—as real as a half Goddess can be.

With her knights practically absent, Ryder learns to be independent. She sees things in her visions that change her perspective on the curse and herself. As Ollie continues his mission to find Athena, they discover that maybe she doesn’t want to be found.

As strange things start to happen at DGA, Ryder realizes it all comes back to her. She must protect her new friends in ways she never thought imaginable. Her new powers leave her strong and fast but as new threats start to surface, she may not be strong enough to protect them all.

In book two of The Curse Books, Ryder will discover what it really means to be Eurydice.
