Three:
Redemption (Children of
the Gods #3)
Release
Date: 11/02/15
Summary
from Goodreads:
Lead Council member, Christoph, is dead by Elyse’s hand, and Descendants
have begun to emerge, exposing their secret to the world. Some see this as the
prophecy come to fruition, but the prophecy caries a heavy consequence. It was
never meant to be as peaceful as most had hoped.
Humans and Descendants struggle to live together in a world that isn’t ready
for such a change. America is divided. Those who glorify the supernatural race
believe Descendants truly are the gods they claim relation to. Others see them
as a threat.
When Elyse gives birth to the next generation oracle, she sees one final
vision—war. The destruction of the country’s major cities, and the end of
America as we know it.
After her daughter is born, Elyse finds herself without the ability she needs
to predict the future. Desperate to save the world from such conflict, she puts
her faith in the hope that Descendants are the key to survival. After all, they
have the power to supply a broken society with the means to survive.
Only from the ashes can a new world be born.
Book
Two:
Uprising (Children of
the Gods #2)
Release
Date: 10/02/15
Summary
from Goodreads:
Elyse has done everything she can to protect her friends from The
Council's reach. As long as they believe she's dead, she has time to rest and
train for war. And war is inevitable.
When Kara arrives with the news that Anna and Chloe have been captured, Elyse
is faced with the realization that no one is safe until The Council is stopped and
Christoph is destroyed. She doesn't need a prophecy to tell her to lead an
army. Christoph has done the one thing that ensures she'll fight to the death.
He's threatened the people she loves.
It will take more than the words of an oracle to help them fight against the
most powerful Descendant alive. To break The Council's oppression and rise up
against a plot so many years in the making, Elyse will need to get dangerously
close to her enemy. So close, in fact, she may not survive.

the Gods #1)

pages
Summary
from Goodreads:
Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets
her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than
average people, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's well over
eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal.
For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous.
After the death of her parents, she's been careful to keep her secret as
closely guarded as possible. Now, only one other person in the world knows
about her age and ability. Or so she thinks. Elyse is not the only one keeping
secrets. There are others like her all over the world, descendants of the very
people the Greeks considered gods. She is one of them, and they have been
waiting for her for a long time.
Some are waiting for her to put an end to centuries of traditions that
have oppressed their people under the guise of safeguarding them. Others are
determined to keep her from doing just that. But for Elyse, the game is just
beginning-and she's not entirely willing to play by their rules

About the Author
Jessica Therrien is the author of the young adult paranormal
fiction series Children of
the Gods. Book one in the series, Oppression,
became a Barnes & Noble best-seller shortly after its release in February
of 2012.
Aside from her Children of the Gods series, Jessica’s work can
also be found in a published collection of flash fiction stories called Campaigner
Challenges 2011. Out of over 350 submissions her story, The
Soulless, won first place for people’s choice and fourth
place in the judging round of Rachael Harrie’s Writing Campaign Challenge. Her
story, Saved, is
also available as part of the anthology.
Jessica
spent most of her life in the small town of Chilcoot, California, high up in
the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In this town of nearly 100 residents, with no
street lights or grocery stores, there was little to do but find ways to be
creative. Her mother, the local English teacher, inspired her to do all things
artistic, and ultimately instilled in her a love for language.
In 2003, Jessica attended California State University Long Beach where her
passion for language found her studying Chinese, and in 2005 she moved to
Taiwan to study abroad. From 2005 to 2006 Jessica was fully immersed in the
Chinese language as she attended National Taiwan University, and in 2008 she
graduated from San Diego State University magna cum laude.
Jessica currently lives in Irvine with her husband and two sons. She is
planning a re-release of her series through Acorn Publishing in September of
2015. The re-release will include the third and final book in her Children
of the Gods series as well as a bonus chapter in the back of Oppression.
