Alice Casarini Knihy

Seventeen-year-old half-blood Alex finds herself not only crushing on a forbidden pure-blood, but in danger of staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and becoming a daimon-hunting Sentinel.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Alex longs for a normal life as a half-blood and grapples with her destiny as the second Apollyon, which is exacerbated by her infuriating connection to Seth and her forbidden feelings for pure-blood Aiden, all while she battles daimons and pures who threaten her survival.

"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed. Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate.."--

Hematoiové oplývají božskými schopnostmi, ale pokud se zkříží se smrtelníky, jejich děti mají jen dvě možnosti: stát se služebníky, nebo strážci, kteří zabíjejí démony. Sedmnáctiletá Alexandria nehodlá drhnout záchody, a tak se soustředí na studium v Konventu. Tam se jí začnou podlamovat kolena z čistokrevného Aidena, ale to není největší problém – tím je zůstat naživu tak dlouho, aby mohla absolvovat. Pokud to nesvede, změní se v démona a nepůjde po ní nikdo jiný než… Aiden. A to by bylo vážně o krk.
