But when you're the only Zeus in the world, life tends to get a bit complicated...The Great Battle saw the world changed forever when humans killed the gods and absorbed their powers. One power was coveted above all others: Zeus's. Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods is the first Zeus in over a century. Unlike everyone else, she hates her powers-thanks to an ancient prophecy that claims a Zeus will have to save the world someday.Hailey doesn't want to save the world. She wants to be a normal teenager. Poseidon's Academy, an underwater palace where her powers don't work, was meant to give her that opportunity. But when she arrives, she discovers the sea-nymphs living there are plotting to resurrect the gods, and Hailey must find a way to stop them before they can enact the prophecy.So much for normal!

The Untold Voices Of The African Animals
This is a collection of stories or fables that were passed down verbally from generation to generation. As far as I know, they have never been written down before. It is my intent to bring them to life for you. In the African culture, Itto is a spirit, often changing shapes and characters. This is why it will appear as a man in one story, a hare in another one, or the voice of reason you hear in your head.
