Summary
“Pops pulled a bit of a heist, last night. Went downstairs for a tick. Brought home a new cupbearer." Dionysus takes a deep draught of wine, then laughs, raspy and intent. “He’s carried off our sweet little cousin.”
Ares huffs. “Which of Poseidon’s thousand bloody offspring must we bear the company of this time, then?”
“Oh, no, man, not Poseidon’s — think lower. Much lower.”
Zeus has taken Zagreus for his new cupbearer. Ares, subject to Zeus' attentions for centuries, is left out in the cold. But Zagreus isn't the only one at risk — and his loss may put Olympus on the brink of war.

Summary
When the mysterious Professor Lewis asks his students what they’d choose to be if they had the chance to live in Middle-earth, Caryn Emmerson thinks she has the perfect answer:
A dragon.
Caryn only likes to play games when she knows she can win — and being a dragon is surely the way to win Middle-earth. To be one of the most powerful creatures in the world, with enough firepower to level a city and enough treasure to live in luxury for the rest of her life! Let the other students pick boring things like hobbits or rangers or other flammable creatures. She can’t lose, right?
Wrong.
Because this isn’t a game, and Caryn Emmerson is about to learn why so few dragons are recorded in Middle-earth’s histories: They have to survive long enough to grow up.
