The Aftermyth
For the first printing only! This hardcover features exclusive painted edges while the special edition supply lasts. A New York Times bestseller! In a world ruled by the tenets of Greek mythology, one girl's fate is more than it appears in the first book in a new dark academia fantasy middle grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Crave series Tracy Wolff. What's your myth? Penelope Weaver has spent her whole life preparing to attend Anaximander's Academy, where students learn how to bring to life the stories of Greek mythology as well as discover the Greek god whose principles they most embody. Penelope knows she's an Athena--all smart, practical, and rule-following girls who take part in stories that matter are Athenas. But when Penelope and her twin brother Paris arrive at Anaximander's, it appears fate has other plans. Penelope isn't placed with Athena but with students who are anything but practical and who prefer parties to rules. And that's just the beginning. She's given the world's worst muse, her assigned tasks feel impossible, and the magic of Anaximander's is overwhelming. Not to mention, there are two very different boys making her new life even more confusing. But as things go from bad to dangerously worse, one thing becomes clear: in a world where everything is fated to happen a certain way, some stories need to be rewritten. As the world around her shifts and cracks, Penelope is asked to forget everything she thought she knew to help create a better story...even if that changes every plan and breaks every rule.
