Olympus; home and sanctuary to the Greek Gods.
At least, it used to be.
Chaos has run rampant, he holds the Olympians under his thumb.
No more is there an Olympian Council, the only structure left is what he commands.
When nine of the Greek Gods are caught conspiring against a self-proclaimed king, they are banished to live among mortals. Stuck in teenage bodies, the powerful Gods and Goddesses must find ways to blend in at a public high school. Nyx, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Hades, Poseidon, Hecate, Athena and Gaea must navigate through human life while hiding their true selves, all while trying to find a way back to Olympus in hopes of taking back their one true home.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
