Preface

To live, to fight, to kill, and to die in the service of the gods. It is a simple oath. An oath that the shadow warriors live and die by. The shadow warriors have been around as long as there have been demigods. They are behind the pages of history. Always guiding the tide of war but are never recognized on the battlefield or elsewhere. They are an assassin warriors order that is made up of mortal men and women who bind themselves to the gods service. They are shrouded in the mist, a magical force that alters reality for the benefit of mortals. These warriors have never been seen or praised as heros by the gods or man yet they have always fought for a better world. They fought at Marathon, they fought at the battle of Ashincourt, they fought in the american revolution, they fought in the fields of europe in world war 1 and world war 2. They fought in vietnam, and korea. Wherever there is a battle, they are there. But that is not important now. That is not my story. That was long before my time. My story is not of the past. My story is of the titan war in America. The year was 2008, and this is the story of the first demigod shadow warrior in the history of the world. This boys name is Dante, son of hades. This boy was 6 years old when he was inducted into the order and, when the titan war came he was 12 years old and leader of the order. This story begins at the greek training camp, camp halfblood, on Long Island, New York, and this... this is my story. I am Dante, son of the Lord of the Dead.
