   Summary

   At Ilium High, the rules are different. Legacy matters more than truth, secrets buy power, and silence is the price of survival. An elite school for the wealthy and well-connected, it promises success to those who keep their heads down, and ruin for those who ask questions.

   Helen just wants to disappear after what happened at her last school, but her beauty makes her a target all over again.
   Diomedes, quiet and fiercely loyal, would rather box than speak, but he's drawn to the girl who won’t let anyone in.
   Odysseus is brilliant, insomniac, and unraveling, haunted by a night he barely remembers.
   Penelope is determined to be perfect, even as the pressure makes her fall apart.
   Clytemnestra is angry, at the school, at her sister, at herself, and not sure who she wants to protect.
   Hector is trying to hold everyone together, his siblings, his team, his future, even as everything burns down around him.
   Paris wants to be seen.
   Cassandra wants to be believed.
