Centuries have passed since the Fey conquered Earth, forcing mankind and gods alike to flee to the sky city Olympus. Forgotten gods walk amongst man, lost and powerless. Little do they suspect a second Fey war looms, and an unlikely duo will set in motion the gears of fate. Zak Walker is a fringe rat living in the slums who would do anything to protect his sister, Alice. His neglectful father threatens to consign him to a life away from home on an airship, but he yearns for his life to mean something more than drudgery. Princess Seneca Rose is the last surviving member of the Seelie royals. They tried to establish peace with mankind, but fell to the forces of Queen Mob and the Unseelie Court. Fleeing for her life, Seneca arrives on Olympus in hopes of uniting the forgotten gods against the oncoming Fey. Zak couldn't care less about the fate of Olympus, until faeries kidnap Alice. He doesn't believe Seneca's stories of faeries or gods, but soon has no choice but to accept their lives are intertwined. All his life, he's dreamed of something more. If he cannot face the dangers that await down on Earth, the gods, mankind, and his sister Alice are all doomed.

After almost 20 years of working with young people and finance both in banking and as a teacher, I found that teenagers aren't getting useful financial education. This book is the first step on the path of teaching teens and young adults the skills that they will need throughout their lives Not a get-rich-quick book, this isn't even about getting rich. Instead, Finance For Youth: This Book covers basic, time-tested strategies like: -Getting and keeping a job -Choices in financial institutions -Making a budget based on priorities -Getting a car Living on your own for the first time, and much more! Since our schools either cannot or will not teach financial literacy, Finance For Youth has stepped in to give parents, teens, young adults, and those who might need a little nudge in the right direction an alternative based on experience and authority in the subject.
