Demigods Academy - Year One (Demigods Academy series)

HARRY POTTER MEETS PERCY JACKSONOn their eighteenth birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox—a magic box that is a gift like no other… because it comes from the Gods.For the majority of people, there’s only a birthday message inside their Shadowbox, which is still considered a blessing. For a few chosen, though, there’s something more. Nobody knows what those special guys receive. What’s known is that they disappear and never come back.Rumors say they are invited to join the Gods’ Army… I think it’s just a load of crap.My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, I’ve been an outcast, an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I don’t even think that gods really exist.
