A group of kids must stop invaders before they take over Titus--and
the rest of the universe--in this first book in a brand-new series from
bestselling Pegasus author Kate O'Hearn, who masterfully blends mystery
and mythology together.
Fifteen years ago, Olympus was destroyed and the Olympians were
resettled on Titus. Since then Earth has been declared a quarantined
world. Neither Titans nor Olympians are allowed to visit and under no
circumstances are humans allowed on Titus. The Titans and Olympians are
keeping the peace. But the deep-seated mistrust still lingers, so when a
human ends up on Titus, he could be the spark that reignites the war...
Astraea is a Titan, granddaughter of Hyperion, and now a reluctant
student at the brand-new school, Arcadia. She just knows that it's going
to be awful, and that there is no way that Titans and Olympians will
ever get along! At least she's got her best friend, a winged-horse named
Zephyr, to keep her company. Then the night before the first day of
school, Astraea hears her parents discussing something terrifying: a
human has been spotted on Titus. But that's not possible. All routes to
Earth via the Solar Stream have been closed--no one can travel between
the two worlds...or can they?
When Astraea and Zephyr get detention on their first day--for fighting
with a centaur--they're sent to the orchards to harvest nectar. There
they discover a human boy named Jake. How he got to Titus is a mystery
even to him. But Astraea and Zephyr know they have to get Jake home
before anyone else discovers him.
But what the trio uncovers is something much bigger than one misplaced
human boy. It's a scheme to take down the rulers of this world, conquer
it, and then do the same across the galaxy. Can a group of kids stop the
invaders? Or is Titus, like Olympus before it, doomed?
