Summary
Look, I don’t want to
be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God.
I
was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The
usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That’s when things really started going wrong. Now I spend
my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally
trying to stay alive.
This is the one where
Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I’ve stolen his lightning bolt—and making Zeus angry
is a very bad idea.
