"I will not let others decide for me what my duty as a woman should be. Whether it be to rule a country, raise a child or slaughter my enemies, I will decide what my own fate is."  Themis, Titan of Divine Justice

Following the events of The Hunters of Artemis, Maximus and his friends find themselves working as agents for the underworld underneath the enigmatic god, Don Hades. While this line of work has no shortage of danger, their latest mission might be a bit more than they bargained for. They are ordered by the underworld to the dreaded Aeaea Island, where neither gods nor laws hold any power. For the lawless Island is under the rule of Circe, the dreaded 'Ever-burning Witch'.

Elsewhere, Maximus has garnered the attention of Olympus and they have sent their greatest huntsman to find him: Apollo, the Sun God.
