They say heroes are forged in fire. Jessa Whitley is about to burn. High school is hard enough for Jessa, but finding out Greek gods are real and they've chosen her as the new Hercules? That's a whole new level of impossible. Let's face it... picking an asthmatic, clumsy, acrophobic teenager to save humanity isn't exactly a stroke of genius by the Fates. But with the god of Death hunting her and the gates of Hell wide open, Jessa's not about to let anyone (or anything) control her destiny. Not even Paul, an overly protective god whose cryptic warnings and evasive answers only deepen her confusion. As their undeniable connection grows, Jessa's left questioning whether he's an ally, a distraction, or something far more important. With Underworld demons spilling into the mortal world, Jessa must embrace her mythic legacy and take the fight straight to their doorstep.
