They Won't Break Us

No matter what they do, they won't break us.

A year after the miraculous return of Alexis Hert, or Hercules as she was named at birth, another variable enters the equation. Augustus and Kharon are forced to be professors again for the stunt they pulled to marry Alexis, and as the crucible approaches, so does the destiny of four teens. Kiara, Wynn, Sophie, and Jasper have held one secret close to their chests their entire lives. They are heirs to four Chthonic houses, but not to the ones everyone knows. When the Great War ended, the four Chthonic Houses who instigated the conflict were banished, but this year, marks their return. As their parents prepare, Kiara, Wynn, Sophie, and Jasper are forced to take the Spartan merit test, but it's all part of the plan. Thrown into the life of an abandoned mutt (or so everyone thinks), these four must work together to survive the crucible, because if they make it to initiation, everything will change.
