The Chaos of Stars

by KierstenWhite (Author)

Synopsis

All good stories have a few false starts...Myth: The children of immortal gods are immortal, too. Reality: Isadora isn't going to be around forever - and her parents barely seem to notice she's alive right now. Myth: Once a god, always a god - that kind of power never fades away. Reality: These days, Isadora's relatives are clinging to the little bit of power they have left. And some of them would do anything to take it all. Myth: Every teenage girl dreams of falling in love. Reality: From what Isadora's seen, love is a painful mess. All she dreams of is a normal life away from her crazy family-minus any romantic drama. Myth: If you go far enough, you can leave the past behind. Reality: Isadora moves halfway around the world to San Diego for a fresh start, but quickly finds that there's no such thing as a clean break from family - and that leaving her old life may mean sacrificing more than she ever guessed. Kiersten White burst onto the scene with her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, which won readers' hearts with its enchanting mix of magic and real-world teenage humor and drama. Her dark thriller, Mind Games, is an emotionally intense tale of crime and intrigue, which New York Times bestselling author Holly Black called A brutal, exciting gem of a book. The Chaos of Stars blends sweet romance, high-stakes suspense, and the magic of Egyptian mythology to create a complex, funny, and deeply moving story about true love and what it means to be a family.
