Kassandra was kissed by a snake. Now she is kissing Apollo.
The first kiss happened when she was only two. The flick of a forked tongue gave her the gift of foresight. The sink of fangs into her flesh took her arm away. Kassandra doesn't mourn the loss of her arm and it hasn't stopped her from becoming a competitive archer. The gift of foresight has allowed her to save the lives of friends and strangers.
Now Kassandra is seventeen and Apollo is back. He wants compensation for the snake's gift- a gift he sent. He wants Kassandra. Kassandra is not interested in being a god's eternal companion, but she does agree to a single kiss.
Kissing a god is divine, but it comes with a curse. Kassandra can still see the future, but she is now powerless to change it. Her words and manipulation that have worked so well to alter fate fail her.
Apollo twines his way into Kassandra's mortal Florida life, crashing into her classes, charming her parents and her twin brother Nikolas. Apollo still wants his prize. Kassandra just wants her normal back.
When Kassandra has a vision of Nikolas pierced by an arrow from Apollo's bow, no one believes her. She cannot convince Apollo that he would ever hurt Nikolas. She cannot convince Apollo that he has cursed himself.
Words will not save her brother. Kassandra will have to use her bow.
