also longs for adventure, as he has never been far from the cave
where he grew up.
Zeus gets his wish--and a lot more than he bargained for--when he
is kidnapped by dangerous, giant Titans In self-defense, Zeus grabs
the first thing he sees--an actual thunderbolt he pulls from a
stone that is covered in mysterious markings. Zeus is the only one
who can decipher the markings, and sets off on a quest to rescue
his fellow Olympians from the evil Cronus. Armed with his trusty
thunderbolt (named Bolt, of course), Zeus is on an adventure of a
lifetime--and a journey to fulfill his destiny as King of the Gods.

Skade, the goddess of skiing, is known as one of the best athletes—and a top student—at Asgard Academy. But lately, she’s felt like she’s been in a slump.
When three giants appear and offer to mend the rift between the worlds by organizing a ski competition, Skade feels like this is her big chance to prove herself again. After all, the powerful Odin will be choosing the Asgard team based on ability, attitude, and academics! But much to Skade’s embarrassment, Odin is less than impressed with her—and names her as an alternate instead of part of the main team.
Aside from Skade’s frustrations, something seems fishy about the whole competition. After one of Skade’s classmates has a strange nightmare about it, they start to wonder if the games are one big cover-up for something more sinister. And when the Asgard team finds themselves on thin ice, it’s up to Skade to overcome a big fear, save her friend—and show everyone what she’s made of!
