The Flower and the Death | The Sun and the Lie | The Fury and the Labyrinth
Are you willing to do ANYTHING for Olympus?
Mars, 2628. The Olympus society is the great corporation that spans the galaxy. It is divided into thirteen services, based on the thirteen functions of the ancient gods of Olympus. Each Service has a specialty. The most promising young people of this society will have to go through the Akademeia, the elite school where they are prepared for three years to participate in “The Odyssey”, the great test that decides who are the best of the entire institution and will filter to identify the best candidates to lead the Services.
This new class includes Asha, heiress of Hades’ service, and Ianthe, heiress of Demeter’s service. They have known each other since childhood, but never got along well. They are assigned as roommates in the same group: Cronos. In this group we will find Minna, Ianthe’s friend and Asha’s worst enemy; Aden, Asha’s best friend; Oscar; Armand and Beren. All of them will be part of Cronos’ group, the best in the whole Akademeia. Despite the tensions that circulate in the group, both love and hatred, the members know that they will have to put aside their animosity and learn to work as a team, because there is a lot at stake. They will have three years of grueling confinement and trials.
Finally, “The Odyssey” begins. Cronos wins the first trial, but it has cost the team a life, the death of Urien. During the following trials, secrets of the characters and many truths emerge that make the boys begin to realize the corruption of Olympus society and how they have destroyed other planets. Asha, Aden, Oscar, Eunys and Beren no longer agree with Olympus society and run away, becoming the resistance group.
5 years later. Ianthe, though unable to escape with her friends, wants to make Olympus better from within. He leaves the Akademeia and asks Demeter for a ship of his own to research and preserve other planets.
They meet Asha’s ship and assist her in fulfilling a mission. Afterwards, both groups decide to go their separate ways. Ianthe decides to remain within the institution, trying to stop the destruction of other planets when possible and leaking her own information to the resistance. This will force her to return to Mars, but it will also give her time in space that she knows she can take advantage of with Asha.
Mars, 2634. Six years have passed since “the rebels” decided to escape from Mars and the clutches of Olympus. Armand is the only one willing to return with a single mission in mind: to be as useful as possible to the rebels, spying and collecting crucial information for the revolution against the current corrupt society. In order to carry out this operation, Armand infiltrates the Zeus headquarters. There he will be able to obtain the information necessary to bring down Olympus, and he is willing to manipulate and deceive anyone to achieve it.
Enid Dusan, from the Zeus service, wants to have all the power. But to do so, he needs everyone to forget that there are rebels still planning to attack the integrity of Olympus.
When they cross paths, Armand will see in Enid, who is sure to be the next leader of Olympus, the opportunity he has been waiting for. But Enid is as devious as he is. Enid knows how to manipulate her equals, her superiors, her inferiors… Enid is like the sun: she attracts everything, and if you get too close you get burned. But Enid also needs a coup to secure her position as the next Zeus. That’s when she crosses paths with Armand, willing to burn with her light and put his talent at the service of Olympus. Both will see in the other something to take advantage of and will associate for purely self-interested purposes. But friction breeds affection, and what was supposed to be a cold and calculating battle turns out to be more complex, as feelings flourish.
Mars, 2635. A year has passed and a new attack by a group of rebels led by Asha Amartya threatens to destabilize Olympus. Desperate, the leader decides to create an application that offers a great reward to all those who manage to identify the dangerous infiltrators.
Tess decides that this is her ultimate chance to lift her friends out of poverty with the help of the huge bounty. Talia also gets to work as capturing Asha may give her answers about what happened to her brother years ago.
