Es sieht so aus, als ob der Olymp viel gefährlicher ist, als ich dachte. Nachdem ich ein fliegendes Piratenschiff ergattert habe, das einst dem verschollenen Herrscher Oceanus gehört hatte, verlasse ich die Akademie und begebe mich auf ein Abenteuer. Und ich breche nicht allein auf. Meine Freunde Ikarus, Zali und Thom kommen auch mit. Doch in einer seltsamen Wendung der Ereignisse kommen auch zwei der Leute aus der Akademie mit, die mich am meisten hassen.

Die Kraft eines Titanen ist episch. Nur kann ich meine neue Gabe noch nicht kontrollieren und das ist nicht nur peinlich, sondern auch gefährlich.

Ikarus sagt, dass wir für eine Weile die Füße stillhalten sollen, aber jedes Mal, wenn Professor Neos mich mit seinen roten Augen ansieht, will ich ihn zum Kampf herausfordern. Und als die Schüler einer nach dem anderen aus den Latschen kippen, weil ihre Seelen gestohlen wurden, habe ich keine andere Wahl als zu handeln.
