Descripción: Astraea, Zephyr, Pegasus, and Tryn turn to an old enemy to save them from a desperate situation in this third book in a new series from bestselling Pegasus author Kate O’Hearn, who masterfully blends mystery and mythology together.Jake, Nesso, and Emily have been captured by the Mimics. Their friends are determined to rescue them before it’s too late, though that’s easier said than done. Driven from their home and facing a constant stream of new attacks, Astraea, Zephyr, Pegasus, and Tryn are struggling just to survive another day against Mimics who can kill with a touch and take the shape of any friend or family member.While Jupiter is focused on returning to Titus, Astraea knows their only hope is to take the fight to the Mimic home world and stop the Mimic queen herself. To do that, they’ll need to even the odds of seven friends versus an entire planet. So they come up with a plan to capture the one thing more terrifying than their enemy—the giant snake Lergo.Seeking out the serpent that almost killed them seems like a terrible idea. But it will take more than one unlikely ally to save their friends—not to mention the universe—and defeat the Mimics for good.About the AuthorKate O’Hearn was born in Canada, raised in New York City, and has traveled all over the United States.

It was their turn to keep watch for any new Mimic attacks. So far, their shift had been uneventful, but things could change in an instant.The massive snake Belis was beside Astraea, his tongue dipping in and out of his mouth as he tasted the air for Mimics. Every few minutes, Astraea would look at him. The moment Belis became aware of the deadly Mimics, his scales would turn from colorful stripes to black.Around them the trees were filled with cheerful birdcalls, but they found no joy in the songs. The beauty of Xanadu was missed as they stood watch.Since arriving on Xanadu and clearing the temple of the shape-shifting Mimics, everyone was on edge. There had been several more attacks, but now that the Titans had security patrols carrying slingshots with rocks covered in snake venom that killed the invaders, the Mimics were quickly driven back. It was the Shadow Titans controlled by the Mimics that proved to be the most dangerous. Their arrival was always brutal and was happening more often. It was obvious—the deadly Mimics were fighting back.“Do you think Jake is with my brothers?” Astraea asked as her keen eyes watched the jungle. “You don’t think the Mimics killed them?”Fear for Jake and her missing brothers had been pressing down on Astraea like a lead weight.

But that was before the attacks had become bolder and more intense.Zephyr snorted and shook her head. “Of course they’re not dead. If the Mimics wanted to kill them, they wouldn’t have bothered taking everyone. I think Jake was taken because he can talk to the snakes.”“Why would they care? All Mimics want to do is kill the snakes. Look what they did to Belis.” Astraea looked along the snake’s body to all the scars from the Shadow Titans’ swords. “Every time they attack us, he seems to be their main target.”The snake could now understand them completely and raised his head higher for Astraea to stroke. “But we won’t let them hurt you again,” she cooed.“I s
