And Zeus, Lord of Olympus, hates Titans. He'll do whatever he can to get us out of the academy.

So getting kicked out of school is not an option. The only way I can get back to my dad and little sister without getting them killed is to become so powerful that I can move between the worlds and handle demons. And to do that I need to unlock my Titan powers. The trouble is, I’ll have to work with Icarus, and he is impossibly moody and unhelpful. Plus I can’t think straight every time I get a glimpse of those piercing green eyes… Added to that, the other students are doing their best to make my life hell.I don't care how hard it gets though, I'll do whatever I need to to get back to my family.
