A shy foster child keeps her head down and hides her scars while trying to excel in school. She lives in a world where Spartans rule over everyone else. These immortals from twelve royal families possess god-like powers and massive wealth. Titans infest the world around them. Then her blood test changes everything. The results show she belongs to the powerful elite. She's a Spartan herself. The authorities force her to attend the Spartan War Academy. There she faces the most brutal test ever designed to determine if she can become immortal. Achilles and Patro become her intimidating mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, teaches her alongside Augustus, the son of war. Someone appears to be stalking her everywhere she goes, or her sanity is failing. Both possibilities seem true. Villains surround her with their hatred, obsession, and dark possessiveness. They have no idea who they're actually dealing with. She's Hercules, and she's stronger than any of them realize.
