Olympia Heights is an intended four book series following a group of super-powered Florida teens and their ill-prepared mortal adult supervision as they discover the reason for their new found abilities and a little humanity to keep them in check.
Dr. Jason Livingstone is struggling to get through another day stuck as a school nurse in a Miami suburb when students start to come to him with strange symptoms and even stranger nightmares. He soon finds himself in the middle of an ancient battle between Olympians and Titans, trying to keep these Florida teenagers alive.
Supervising a bunch of super-powered teenagers isn’t easy. Jason soon finds that he needs to teach them a bit of humanity before their new found abilities, hormonal impulses, and tangled social webs turn them into the monsters that they once were; immortals with no care for the destruction their petty squabbles caused or the hurt they dealt to the mortals around them.
Perhaps the Greek Gods weren’t so different from teenagers after all.
Zach Jacobs is a better than normal teenager. He has a great car, hot (but often cold) girlfriend, and the body of a Greek God. He’s captain of the Olympia Heights Senior High football team and looking forward to a college scholarship followed by a career in politics. Then lightning strikes.
When Zach finds himself in the hospital, unharmed, he starts to think that maybe he wasn’t struck by lightning. Maybe he was the source.
Just when things couldn’t get any weirder, Zach discovers that he’s not the only teenager packing a little extra power in Olympia Heights, and he and his new allies may be tied to the recent string of murders in his Miami suburb. Someone has been killing people, burning them to a crisp and that someone has an ancient score to settle with Zach.
Book Two- Olympia Heights: Weight of the World
Celene Davis thought she had enough to worry about, raising a teenage daughter alone and teaching science at a local high school, before she discovered their abilities and ancient histories. Now she and her colleague, Jason Livingstone, have fourteen super-powered teens to protect and they’re not making it easy.
Coming down off of the survival of a Titan’s ambush and leaping straight into the freedom of summer vacation, the kids are getting cocky. The Pantheon seems to be having enough trouble controlling their impulses when their abilities start to evolve, giving each student new talents and new ways to cause problems. Break-ups, make-ups, and betrayals are calling a little too much attention to the immortals, who are blatantly using their powers for their own selfish means.
With their own personal drama exploding all around them, it’s no wonder they don’t notice the quiet threat waiting to strike as the once-friends tear each other apart.
Book Three- Olympia Heights: The Blood of Athens
It seems like fate when Olympia Heights Senior High chooses to have their study abroad program in Athens this year. Eager to learn more about their pasts, many of The Pantheon take the trip abroad. Some of the students, however, are stuck at home or sneaking off to hotter destinations for the winter.
The trip is threatened when a serial killer begins a bloody rampage in the ancient city. Mortals are being murdered but the path seems to be following. The Pantheon wherever they go. The threat that draws closer has been killing for centuries, waiting for his chance at vengeance.
The Pantheon will need their new common power and the tools of their pasts to survive, but one of them is fated to not make it out alive.
Book Four- Olympia Heights: The Cult of Cronus
High School is over for Zach Jacobs. Now distance and ambition bring forth new challenges for the King of the Gods. The Pantheon are nearly all awoken, their memories are clearer and their powers are stronger.
It is yet to be determined if they’re strong enough to defeat their strongest foe, the King Titan, Cronus.
Cronus plans to bring the world back to his race of golden men. A promise of perfect peace is too tempting for most mortals. How do you fight an enemy who could be anywhere at any time? How do you fight an enemy who can be anyone?
