The battle of Olympus has ended, but the minor feuds between gods slowly began to increase. Soon after, there was a war between gods which unleashed disastrous consequences. The gods retreated into their domains, rarely claiming their children unless they felt the halfblooded could please them. And in the depths of the shadows, evil slowly begins to form once again. A half blood known as Jake, came out of a rough childhood and discovering that he was not a normal mortal. Between the fact of losing his mother and never knowing who his father was, he constantly fought with the influences of evil. And unbeknownst to him, his father Erebus, god of darkness and shadows, was the cause for his temptation. Finally meeting his father after being claimed during a battle between him and a manticore, he slowly begins to fall under his influence.
