Origins
of the Never:
a world of peace and plenty. A world
where magic weaves its web throughout all reality, banishing conflict,
sickness, and hunger. A world where the races live in perfect peace
and harmony, and the forces of Light prevail. But know this; light creates
shadow, and within, the ancient enemy stirs, its slumber interrupted by the
spark of jealousy. Evil enters an innocent heart, causing a downward spiral
into corruption. The shadow dims the brightest love, twisting it to become
the greatest threat in the history of the universe. As this world, and the
font of magic it holds turns to darkness, the Great One, Olumé,
faces a desperate choice. Make the ultimate sacrifice, or allow Tenybris to devour all life, everywhere. Could you decide
between life, love, and death...or something infinitely worse? Origins of the Never is the free prequel to the Tales of the
Neverwar. Set thousands of years before the series,
read how darkness rises and dragons die, and how magic is banished from the
realms.

Heroes:

tamed Pegasus? It takes a demigod to know, and Percy Jackson can fill you in on
the all the daring deeds of Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and the
rest of the major Greek heroes. Told in the funny, irreverent style readers
have come to expect from Percy, ( I've had some bad
experiences in my time, but the heroes I'm going to tell you about were the
original old school hard luck cases. They boldly screwed up where no one had
screwed up before. . .) and enhanced with vibrant artwork by Caldecott Honoree
John Rocco, this story collection will become the new must-have classic for
Rick Riordan's legions of devoted fans--and for anyone who needs a hero. So get
your flaming spear. Put on your lion skin cape. Polish your shield and make
sure you've got arrows in your quiver. We're going back about four thousand
years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt,
raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we'll
die painful tragic deaths. Ready? Sweet. Let's do this.
