Prologue
BANG! That's how my life began. Some people say that's how everything began but personally, I'm against that theory. My name is Sophie May Rogers and the first thing I heard was bang because as soon as I was born, Zeus zapped my mum to dust. For some reason he was mad at my dad, Hades that day. I don't know why and I wouldn't dare to ask. So for the past 15 years, I've been living in the Underworld with my dad and Persephone. Persephone took me in as if I was her own child, so I've just become accustomed to calling her Mum. Because Mum went up out of the Underworld for two thirds of the year to see her mum Demeter, she brought me back some modern clothes so I didn't have to look like an old-fashioned Greek person. But saying that I realise that Greek clothing is more than old-fashioned, it's ancient! I love living in the Underworld and all, but I just want to see the above world. Dad always says that it's terrible, but I just really want to see what's out there.
And that's where my story begins…
