It is 1861 and America is on the verge of war. The Confederates have just split from the Union and tension is building. However, a whole different fight is going on right below the surface. In the suburbs of the capital, Washington DC, a camp for gifted children and young adults is slowly falling apart. The Romans and the Greeks have had a rivalry for centuries, but finally it is at a breaking point. The Romans believe that each state should make its own decisions, like the old Romans had each of their legions run separately. The Greeks, however, think that the laws put in place should apply to everyone, seeing as that was their version of democracy, which the United States based theirs on. Reluctantly but surely, both sides ally with the human forces; the Romans with the Confederates and the Greeks with the Union. Troops gather on both sides. The Romans are building secret passages in the Confederate forts while the Greeks hide secret bunkers for each Olympian's children all over the North. But what will happen when three seemingly insignificant young demigods with a friendship that might be torn apart get caught in the midde?
