Requirements: Epub reader/Azw3 reader, 980 Kb
Overview: Gordie Leonhart does not understand how he survived a cataclysmic attack upon his hometown, which resulted in the death of his father. After the eruption, he is met by Hermes, who implies that Gordie shares a relationship with Hercules. Gordie does not realize it, but he possesses Herculean strength one day out of every twelve; like his heroic ancestor, he must complete twelve trials—each associated with a different god—in order to unlock his full potential. Gordie is skeptical when Hermes tells him that Zeus is responsible for the attack, but driven by grief and anger, he vows revenge upon the King of Olympus.
Hermes, meanwhile, promises to hide Gordie’s survival from Zeus, which he can do because he has sealed the borders between the worlds of gods and men upon Gordie’s birth, trapping the immortals in other parallel planes of existence. Zeus, trapped on his seat of Olympus, has become angry with the mortals for forgetting the power of the gods; he plans to reassert his dominance over the humans, but the Olympians are divided, and Hermes believes that Gordie is the one destined to thwart Zeus’s schemes.
Gordie and his mother Ellie travel to her father’s house to escape the pain of their loss. Atalo Anastasios surprises them when he confirms that they are descendants of Hercules, and that his father actually had direct contact with Hephaestus, one of the Olympians, who is holding a family heirloom for them. Ultimately, the boys convince Ellie to travel with them to Greece to find Hephaestus and begin undertaking the trials of the gods.
At the airport, Gordie is dumbfounded when he runs into Bridget Clemens—the most popular girl in his class—waiting at the same gate to travel to Europe. Sparks fly, but of course, sixteen-year-old Gordie puts his foot in his mouth before long, and they part ways on bad terms after landing at Heathrow Airport. On the connecting flight from London to Athens, Gordie receives another shock in the form of Hermes, who sends Gordie to Hades in order to retrieve the centaur, Chiron, Master of Heroes. Gordie meets the Lord of the Underworld and succeeds in his first task, set to him by Hades himself; his reward is Chiron’s mentorship.
