At a time when the old gods have been forgotten… Mount Olympus is barely surviving. On the brink of extinction most of its inhabitants have fled to live out their immortality hidden among the mortals that no longer know their names.
17,000 year old goddess of fate Acacia is determined to start a new life. After erasing her memories, she is free of the myth and legends that have destroyed her family. But the lore she was born to protect can't leave her alone.
Forced out of her safe albeit boring existence as a mortal by her father’s old nanny goat, she finds herself not only back on Mount Olympus and struggling to recover her forgotten abilities but also on the front lines of a war she doesn’t believe in.
Overwhelmed by the hatred of her family, the seemingly mindless devotion of the warriors created to protect her and the returning memories of the cold-hearted person she was, Acacia must decide if she is still the weapon Olympus needs or a weakness they can no longer afford.

Furious
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.
