I'm just a girl. And it turns out, I'm Hercules.
I'm struggling to survive in a Titan infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy-stammering foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens.
My blood test reveals I'm part of the powerful elite. I'm one of them. A Spartan.
Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, I undergo the most harrowing test of all time to see if I have what it takes to be an immortal. There's just a few problems. Achilles and Patro are my scary mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, and Augustus, the son of war, are my terrifying professors. Also, I'm pretty sure either someone's stalking me everywhere I go, or my sanity's slipping––I have a bad feeling both are true.
I'm surrounded by Villains and they're smothering me with their hate, obsession, and dark possessiveness. Too bad for them, they have no clue just who they're messing with.

I almost DNF'ed this because the writing was horrible. But I'm glad I didn't because I love this story and I adore Alexis. She's quirky and awkward and definitely not your typical fantasy FMC. I'm especially excited about the sequel because we won't have delirious Alexis in the trenches of Spartan Academy. I can't wait to see how she grows into her powers and into her relationships.
I definitely think this book is worth pushing through! I'm reading Mas's other series right now and I have a new appreciation for the writing in this book because it's not that Mas's writing style is bad, I think a lot of it is the personality of Alexis and the writing really brings that out.
