Demigods Academy: Year One

HARRY POTTER MEETS PERCY JACKSON

On their eighteenth birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox—a magic box that is a gift like no other… because it’s a gift from the Gods.

They started appearing after the New Dawn, when Gods resurged to fight against a Titan that killed hundreds of thousands of people. A story we all grew up listening to.
For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox, which is still considered a blessing. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back.

Rumors say they are invited to join the Gods’ Army… I think it’s just a load of crap.

My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast, an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t even think that gods really exist. I’m not one of those freaking people that worship Zeus or Ares and bring offers to their temples in the hope to receive an “invitation.”
