The Task is the forgotten myth, the one you won't be able to find in story books. Years ago, the mortal children of the Titans grew to be a problem for the gods, so Zeus assigned one of the mortal children of Ares, the god of war, the task of fighting these Titanians, children of the Titans. When he was killed, his children would assume The Task at the age of 16, and their children after that.
It's the year of 2004, and Alexander Werner, the current Tasker, is killed in battle. The oldest of his three daughters, Christina, must assume The Task. The problem is, Christina's only nine years old. Zeus then lowers the Tasking age to 13. But Christina is murdered by a Titanian only a year after she assumes The Task, and her sister Joanna must follow in Christina's footstep. But soon, a similar fate befalls Joanna, and only the youngest of the sisters, Alexandra, is left to assume The Task. Years later, the very cunning and intelligent Alexandra will stop at nothing to avenge to deaths of her father and sisters.
The halls of Olympus have been emptied leaving only a confused Zeus cursed by darkness to lose memories of who belongs there. Now he depends on inaccurate Earthen histories of his people to try to find clues as to who belongs up there with him. The gods have been scattered to the earth, reborn by humans and do not know anything about their true heritage or power.
Zeus uses logic to find them by eliminating the ordinary and looking for the unusual and extraordinary among the humans to find his people. He spies the first one he suspects and hopes that if he can convince her to take her place within the halls of the gods that she will help him find the others and eventually the perpetrators of the darkness which caused this to happen in the first place.
What was known about the gods is all about to change.
