Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena goes by Pandie for good reason. She needs something impressive for her school project about the gods, and she knows exactly what will work. Her father owns a mysterious box that Zeus himself delivered. Pandie understands the box contains something so terrible it must never be opened. But showing off her father's liver in a jar again seems boring by comparison. She opens the box before she can think through what might happen. Seven different evils and miseries escape into the world. Athens begins to crumble around her. Death and destruction spread everywhere. Pandie must face the consequences of her choice and find a way to contain the chaos she has unleashed on her city.
