Nick -- Leader of the half-breeds and the last true hero. He's spent his life fighting a dark pull toward the gods. A pull he now knows is linked to his father Krónos and the Titan's plan to escape from the Underworld. But Nick's hidden powers are coveted by more than just his father. Imprisoned by Hades, Nick battles every form of torture imaginable as the god schemes to break him. Only one thing is keeping him sane. One woman who gives him the strength to fight the relentless darkness. But she has a dangerous plan of her own, and as Nick's powers grow stronger, even she might not be enough to alter his destiny. As the fate of the world hangs in the balance, Nick's allegiance are tested. And no one knows whether he will choose to fight for good or succumb to the sinister lure of evil. Not even him.
