In the year 2628 on Mars, the Olympus corporation governs the galaxy, dividing society into thirteen services based on the gods of old. Within this rigid structure, Asha, a hades, has known only death, while Ianthe, a deméter, has lived a life of isolated growth. Their paths collide at the elite Akademeia, a brutal three-year academy where students compete in a series of trials for leadership positions. To succeed means gaining power; to fail means being forgotten by the all-powerful corporation.

Forced to compete for a future dictated by Olympus, Asha and Ianthe discover that the institution hiding behind myths and legends has its own dark secrets. As they navigate the cutthroat competition, they must decide if they are willing to do whatever it takes to win. This reinterpretation of the Hades and Persephone myth blends science fiction with classic mythology, exploring a universe where alliances are forged in adversity and love can bloom in the harshest of environments, challenging the very foundations of their world.
