The sound of nearby footsteps in the grass awakens you. You blink rapidly as your eyes adjust to the sunlight and you become aware of a formidable figure standing over you. He is wearing golden armor—a breast plate and knee guards, along with a sword sheathed at his hip. Beside the figure is a golden chariot and horses that seem plucked right out of a fairy tale. You blink again, but the formidable figure and his exotic chariot remain.“Hello,” the figure says. “My name is [choose one]Zeus.”Poseidon.”Hades.”You are the main character in this encounter with the Olympians. Throughout the narrative, you make choices that change the course of the story. Which god or goddess will Cupid make your love interest? You decide. Then, to prove you're worthy to become immortal, so that you can remain with your love interest, will you face Cerberus or the Hydra? Will you offer cakes or strike with the sword loaned to you by Athena? How will you steal a golden apple from the garden of the Hesperides, and who will help you through the Minotaur's labyrinth, and which god or goddess will comfort you if you fail?Enjoy dozens of adventures in a single book!Although this interactive adventure story shares the world of The Underworld Saga, it can be enjoyed before, after, or without reading the saga.Look for the companion online game, called Challenge of Olympus at Eva's website at evapohler.com.Directions for Reading this Interactive EbookThroughout this interactive ebook, you will have opportunities to make choices that will change the course of the story. Some of your choices may result in the death of your character or some other undesirable outcome. But, don’t worry, you can click back to your most recent choice and pick another path.The pronoun “you” is used to represent “you” the main character, and no other pronouns are used to describe “you.” I wrote the story in this way to include all types of readers, regardless of gender, sexual-orientation, religion, race, or ethnicity.You will have the opportunity to choose your love interest at the end of Part One. The narrative is written so that “you” can interact with a love interest of the same or different gender. The choices for your love interest will depend on which god you choose to interact with at the opening of the novel. If you don’t see the god or goddess you want as your love interest, you can go back and interact with a different god at the opening of the story.A total of fifteen gods may be chosen as a love interest. Each of these love interests will engage you in a different version of the overall narrative—which invites you to complete three challenges to prove you’re worthy to become a god. Some of the versions will have only subtle differences, whereas other versions will feel like completely different storylines. Although your love interest may engage with you in mature ways, all such scenes fade to black to keep the novel appropriate for readers ages thirteen and older.To get the most out of this book, I suggest that you read it all the way through, one love interest at a time. If you do it that way, you will essentially read over fifty different variations of the story. I hope you enjoy your adventures interacting with the gods, goddesses, and creatures of the ancient Greek pantheon!And for those of you who are already fans of The Underworld Saga: this adventure story shares that world and occurs before the first book, Thanatos; however, this adventure story can be read before or after the books in The Underworld Saga.

Thanatos and Therese's love story continues in the second book of this epic young adult series by USA Today bestselling author Eva Pohler.Ten agonizing months have gone by since Therese faced off against her parents’ murderer at Mount Olympus, and she suspects Thanatos’s absence is meant to send her a message: go on with your life. She tries to return Pete’s affections even though her heart aches for the god of death. Then she becomes infuriated with Than when he says that he’s “been busy.” In cahoots with her new friend, who's gotten in with the Demon Druggies at school, Therese takes a drug that simulates a near-death experience, planning to tell Than off so she can have closure and move on, but things go very, very wrong.Eventually she learns that Than has been busy searching for a way to make her a god, and he’s found it, but it requires her to complete a set of impossible challenges designed by Hades, who hopes to see her fail. *Formerly The Gatekeeper's Challenge

Therese doesn't like being stuck on the sidelines, especially when the entire pantheon is in trouble.Hypnos and Jen aren't married long when they realize something's missing: they both want to have a child, especially when they see how happy Therese and Than are with their twins. But the creation of new gods is against the rules, and they aren't willing to give up their immortality. Hypnos goes to Mount Olympus to offer Zeus a deal. He'll make it his mission to find out the source of the recent attacks on Gaia--horrible earthquakes that have already released two monsters from the Titan Pit--if Zeus will agree to let him and Jen have one immortal child.Because the attacks are getting humans killed and none of the other gods have been able to discover a lead, Zeus, in his desperation, agrees. But this new quest just might get Hypnos swallowed and trapped for all eternity, and there seems to be nothing Therese and Than can do to stop it.

Just when things were looking up for Than and Therese, everything crumbles.Eighteen-year-old Therese Mills has second thoughts about marrying Thanatos when she learns that no god has ever been faithful to his wife.
