Orion, an orphan raised by the tyrant Kronos, has always believed in the empire's cause. Trained alongside his childhood friend Nyx, a half-human, half-cat hybrid, Orion is sent to infiltrate the rebel stronghold in Athenia. But as he witnesses the rebels' struggle and humanity, doubts creep in, and Orion's limited magical abilities begin to awaken. Torn between loyalty and truth, Orion makes a daring decision to join the rebellion, even as Nyx remains loyal to Kronos. As Orion's powers, rooted in the ancient Greek gods, come to light, he forges new alliances and faces formidable enemies. In the midst of battle and betrayal, Orion and Nyx's deep bond is tested, leading to unexpected revelations and a romance that could change everything. "Shadows of Olympus" is a tale of transformation, mythical power, and the fight for a future free from tyranny.
The gods are dying and and only Hades knows why.
There is nothing quite as frustrating as being the last person to know what's going on. Most days it seems like the whole world knows something Autumn doesn't-the whole Underworld, anyway.
For 18 year-old Autumn, the biggest obstacles in her foreseeable future are paying for college and staying out of trouble. She doesn't need gods of half-forgotten myths swooping in to alter her course-but Hector, the second incarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, has never been one to sit back and watch the world burn.
Enter Autumn, unknowing, untrained, unwilling Fury: the perfect secret weapon in a secret war of the gods. Hector and Autumn strike a bargain but the more Autumn gets to know the inhabitants of the Underworld, the further she gets from her all-too-human problems. Who can think about homework or consequences when all of the gods are dying?
With the help-or the hindrance-of the Fates, Autumn must train with Harpies, Furies, and other creatures formerly of myth to win an impending war for Hector, restore the ambrosia to Olympus, and be home in time for graduation. All in a Tuesday's work.
