Blood of Hercules

by Jasmine Mas, Veronica Battistoni · 2024

Indigo Bellamy has spent her life hiding behind a shy, stammering façade, surviving as a foster child in a world overrun by Titans and ruled by the immortal Spartans—twelve royal houses wielding god‑like powers and untold wealth. When a routine blood test reveals she carries the blood of the elite, Indigo is thrust into the brutal Spartan War Academy, where legendary mentors like Achilles and Patroclus, and terrifying professors such as the ferryman Charon and war‑born Augustus, test her to see if she can become an immortal. As she navigates deadly politics, obsessive villains, and a creeping sense that someone—or something—is always watching, Indigo discovers that the true power of Hercules lies not in muscle or myth, but in the fierce, sarcastic heart that refuses to be crushed. Dark, witty, and pulsing with romance, Blood of Hercules reimagines the classic hero for a modern, high‑stakes fantasy.
