Pantheon

Andrew Jax has a system

keep his head down, ace his calculus tests, and never let anyone see how alone he really is. Systems don't account for waking up one morning able to hear a heartbeat from across a cafeteria or throwing a dodgeball hard enough to send a linebacker into a wall.

The truth about his father

When his mother finally tells him the truth, Andrew's whole world rearranges itself around three words: your father is Zeus.

Thrown into a hidden world

Torn from the only life he's known, Andrew is thrown into a hidden world where ancient gods still walk, monsters hunt in the shadows of ordinary cities, and a prophecy has already marked him as something dangerous. Training alongside other demigods—some allies, some rivals, one or two he's not sure how to feel about—Andrew has to master powers he never asked for before something far older than the Olympians finishes waking up.

The dangers of his identity

Every friendship could be a betrayal. Every god has an agenda. And the closer Andrew gets to the truth of who he is, the more he realizes that being Zeus's son might be the most dangerous thing about him.

The story's tone and setting

Fast-paced, mythology-soaked, and packed with heart, humor, and high-stakes action, Parthenon is perfect for readers who wish Camp Half-Blood had a few more secrets and a lot more at stake. Step into Arcadia. The gods are watching.
