A group of kids must stop invaders before they take over Titusand the rest of the universein this first book in a brand-new series from bestselling Pegasus author Kate OHearn, 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 its going to be awful, and that there is no way that Titans and Olympians will ever get along! At least shes 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 thats not possible. All routes to Earth via the Solar Stream have been closedno one can travel between the two worldsor can they
When Astraea and Zephyr get detention on their first dayfor fighting with a centaurtheyre 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. Its 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
"For fans of world-hopping adventure flavored with mythology, magic"--Kirkus Reviews "May 1, 2019 "
"Though the kids all have special powers, they also have regular teenage problems, and O'Hearn uses humor to lighten the mood. The teens' endeavors to understand those from different worlds may inspire readers to do the same here on Earth. VERDICT Fans of Rick Riordan's series will be taken with these characters who learn to be heroes in order to rescue those they love."--School Library Journal "June 2019 "
