Publisher's Synopsis
There are lots of stories about the children of gods. But 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 becomes the prey of 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 that she never knew existed; one full of arete: beings who possess 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 Arete Series: a Young Adult, Urban Fantasy trilogy by Rae Else.
