'The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever,' reads the official synopsis from publisher Disney Hyperion. Lore Perseous - who left the tradition behind years before after her family was murdered by a rival line - enters the latest New York City Agon, revenge firmly on her mind, once she's recruited by a long-lost friend, Castor, and a wounded Athena (the last of the old gods).

Lore takes place in a world where nine Greek gods are hunted every seven years in a punitive event known as the Agon, which offers ancient bloodlines the opportunity to bloodily vie for a chance to slaughter an omnipotent being for their power and immortality.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms the studio has entered development on the project, whose screenplay is currently being written by Snake Eyes scribes, Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse. The mythological underpinnings of Percy Jackson will meet the brutal free-for-all of The Hunger Games in Universal Pictures' upcoming film adaptation of Alexandra Bracken's 2021 YA fantasy novel - Lore.
