A daughter of a police officer and a boy from foster care find a flying horse. There is also a teenager that managed to survive after seemingly being pushed off a tall building. An "evil" Central Research Unit is trying to interrogate all of these people to try to find out more. After testing, they think the teen must be an alien. However, the kids have found out the truth. They are all Greek deities from Olympus. There has been a big battle and things are dire. However, if they find the special girl that Vestus has invested with the fire of Olympus they should be able to defeat the demons that have invaded. The girl ends up discovering that she is the special girl. She willingly sacrifices herself, but then discovers that rather than being killed, she has been made whole. All seems to be doing well. The book contains various life or death scenarios with people killed - yet the stakes never feel very high. It is also fairly easy to guess what will happen, but this probably works well for the target audience.
