Alexis Hert isn´t a hero, and she certainly isn´t a god. All she´s ever been is a survivor. But the Fates disagree. When a blood test leads to her admittance at the Spartan War Academy, she´ll have to do more than merely survive. Alexis will have to claim her birthright: immortality. But immortality is a privilege, one earned in the crucible of the academy, where the heroes are villains and classrooms battlegrounds. While gladiators Achilles and Patro, her demanding mentors, hone her into a warrior, Augustus and Kharon, her professors and the brooding heirs to the underworld, haunt her steps and her thoughts.
