Life couldn't get any worse for sixteen-year-old Olive Eastwood. Her dad's life has been taken from her due to his ongoing battle with leukemia, and now she finds herself on a train heading towards the small, isolated town of Half End, Ireland; the home of her enigmatic grandmother. (And the only family she has left.) From its atmosphere, Half End seems like your average seaside, whistle-stop community. But if you dig deeper, you'll uncover the truth... The town is a safe-haven for descendants of the mythological Norse, Egyptian, and Greek gods. Although it's easy for Olive to get wrapped up in Half End's customs, quirks, and charming residents, it's evident that tension heavily lies between the families of the three powerful pantheons. There's no stopping the war amongst them...especially when there's talk of conspirators planning to assassinate the town's monarch: a descendant of Odin, and the father of that mysterious, curly-haired boy Olive inevitably keeps running into. Can Olive, a descendant of the Greek goddess Demeter, learn to harness the powers inside of her and take down the chaos residing in Half End, or will she join her dead father in the Underworld before it's too late?

A Prophecy. A Shipwreck. The Battle for Britain begins... They hardly remember the May-children. The one hundred and forty children King Arthur exiled from Britain. Mordred – he’s the one they talk about. They say he was the only May-child who survived. They were wrong. This is the story of the children King Arthur sent to their deaths on the strength of Merlin’s prophecy. This is the untold history of the Children of the May. Children of the May is the first novel in S. J. Moore’s Children of the May saga. Inventively adapted from tales in Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur and other medieval sources, the Children of the May stories are full of action, adventure, mystery, humour and romance - a version of the Arthurian legends for today.
