And so the gods bestowed upon man Pandora. And all her curses. Seventeen year old Aerro King likes a lot of things. Surfing, music, pretty girls, and most importantly-being a demigod. As one of the three children fathered by the King of the Gods himself, Aerro is expected to keep himself in line while also harboring a military secret that is punishable by death to reveal. But when Aerro decides to return home to Emerial-the Demigod Nation that protects and organizes mortal safety from monsters-and finish his training to become a Hoptilite of the Emerial Army, he finds himself with a terrible predicament. The problem? The secret he wishes he never knew is about him. And to protect it, to protect Emerial, Aerro might lose the friends he has has desperately missed during his three year hiatus from the Demigod Island in the mortal world. As Aerro struggles to reconcile the meaning of his secret and finish his last year at the Academy, he and his friends stumble across something sinister at play and discover they have less people to turn to than they thought. In order to prevent war and chaos, Aerro rages at the thought of sacrificing more than he has already given and for the first time, he begins to question everything he has ever known to be true.
