Emily and Pegasus face their greatest challenge yet when they venture back to Earth to save a friend in this sixth and final book of an exciting series that puts a modern thrill into ancient mythology. After the events in Hawaii, Emily is contending with diminished powers, a new body, and the fact that she has to teach the Titan Lorin how to use her own powers. To make matters worse, Joel has been acting strangely towards her ever since she changed, and it’s all become too much. However, Emily has one last promise to fulfill, one she made a long time ago: to save Agent B from the secret government agency called the CRU. But when Emily, Pegasus, Joel, and Paelen arrive in London, they discover that Agent B has been captured by the CRU and the only way to free him is for Emily and Lorin to surrender. As Emily and her friends delve deeper into the CRU’s history, horrible discoveries are made. Not only about the victims the powerful agency has been trapping and abusing for centuries, but about the very origins of the secret agency itself. Origins that lead directly back to...Emily.

The End of Olympus 1 “KEEP YOUR RIGHT ARM UP!” Emily raised her staff higher and stood before Diana, panting, sore, and exhausted, awaiting her next attack. When Diana lunged, Emily countered with a tumble and spin maneuver that saw her back on her feet and striking Diana’s staff from the side. In response, Diana dove down low and came back up under Emily’s defenses, knocking the staff from her hands. It flew several feet away and crashed to the ground. They had been training for most of the day, and the fatigue was starting to make Emily sloppy. Her long black hair swept into her eyes, and her hands were slippery from sweat. She was trembling with exertion as she retrieved her staff. They were in the remains of the amphitheater, on what was left of the stage. It would be some time before another performance could be hosted here, as most of the repairs to Olympus were focusing on the homes. The invasion by the Titans who had escaped the prison Tartarus had caused almost complete destruction, which the Olympians were only now recovering from. But while the amphitheater awaited repair, it made a very good training ground, with little chance of them being disturbed. “Higher!” Diana repeated as she attacked again. She cut down with her staff and slipped easily through Emily’s defenses, striking her in the side. Emily grunted and went down to her knees, gasping for breath. “You see, if you do not keep your arm up, you leave yourself vulnerable.” Behind her, Pegasus neighed loudly and came forward. He put himself between Diana and Emily and pawed the ground. “Yes, I know she is tired,” Diana said to the winged stallion. “But Emily has a body now. She must learn to use it properly and to protect it. She is an Olympian, and most of her powers are gone. If we ever go against the Titans again, she must be prepared to fight in hand-to-hand combat.” Emily looked up at Pegasus, grateful for the brief respite he’d given her. “I’m okay, Pegs. Diana’s right. I must learn this.” Still panting, she raised her staff, preparing to engage the powerful huntress once again. But Diana didn’t move. “No. Pegasus is correct. I am pushing you too hard. You may take the rest of the day off.” Emily glanced up at the sky and saw the clouds going pink as the sun started to set. There wasn’t much of a day left to take off. “Thank you,” she said. “Same time tomorrow?” Diana nodded. “We will start first thing with bow training and then move on to swords.” As she started to leave, Diana called back, “Pegasus, make sure she eats plenty of ambrosia. She needs to keep up her strength.” Emily pulled a towel down from Pegasus’s neck and watched Diana leave. “Does that woman ever get tired? Look at her. She didn’t even break a sweat or mess her hair. I’m soaked and hurt all over!” There was a twinkle in the stallion’s eyes, and Emily knew he was laughing at her. “Yes, I know, I’ve got a real body and I’m not used to doing these physical things. But I’m getting stronger. I can feel it.” Pegasus nickered and nodded. After she wiped her face, Emily looked around. Scars from the recent battle were everywhere. A whole section of the white marble amphitheater’s upper seats was gone completely. The statues along the avenues had all been broken and were only now being slowly replaced. Jupiter’s palace, containing the apartment she shared with her father, Pegasus, Joel, and Paelen was being rebuilt after the Titans had razed it to the ground. When the Titans had poured into Olympus, they’d destroyed everything in sight. Earth hadn’t fared much be
