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.

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.

Oppression (Children of the Gods #1)
Release Date: 09/02/15
346 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.
