Maia Peterson was expecting the summer after seventh grade to be pretty uneventful. But when a fire destroys her home, she discovers a family secret that sends her halfway across the globe to Greece. Once there, Maia is whisked away to Olympia, a hidden world of mischievous mermaids, winged horses, and other creatures and characters from Greek mythology. And in this land out of time - where Zeus and his brethren still reign - Maia finds herself at the center of an age-old conflict between feuding gods. With the aid of a legendary boy who flies too close to the sun, she battles against powerful forces determined to use her as a pawn. Along the way, she struggles to learn the truth about her heritage by solving the mystery of her father's disappearance. Will she be able to defy the fate others have planned for her? Will she dare to fly?
