XANDERDURST
When sixteen-year-old Athena Grace steps onto the grounds of Skyward Academy, the world's most elite school for young heroes, she expects a place of order, rules, and structured training. What she finds instead is chaos-students with powers that defy imagination, classrooms that resemble battlefields, and people that are as unpredictable as the powers they wield.
Athena's own power, the ability to create glowing mini suns in her hands, marks her as a promising hero-in-training-but controlling such power is harder than she ever imagined. Surrounded by classmates who are brilliant, bizarre, and occasionally terrifying, Athena must navigate intense training, fierce rivalries, and the drama of adolescence, all while discovering who she truly is and what kind of hero she wants to become.
From a hyena-powered prankster to a star-wielding genius, a telekinetic dancer, and a boy who summons celestial guardians, her classmates are as extraordinary as they are unpredictable. Together, they will face challenges that test their strength, their wits, and the bonds between them-but nothing will prepare Athena for the lessons she'll learn about courage, trust, and the kind of hero she was born to be.
Skyward Academy isn't just a school. It's a proving ground, a playground, and a battlefield-and Athena Grace is ready to rise... or fall spectacularly trying.
