About the book:
High atop Mount Olympus, dawn breaks on a new academic term. Normalcy has returned to campus following a harrowing expedition into The Underworld to rescue kidnapped students by Zeus and his fellow Olympians. Now, as they prepare to testify in The High Court, Hyperion will be tried for the attack on Crete and death of Anytos. Kronos will stand trial for the murder of Mount Olympus Prep’s Headmaster Ouranos.
As the trials draw near, Mount Olympus Prep students and faculty are besieged repeatedly by a race of gargantuan stone and earth giants. Under heavy assault, the Olympians are forced to flee to the volcanic island of Limnos to regroup. Meanwhile, a toxic poison Zeus has carried with him since a prior fight with a dragoness, creeps toward his brain.
In a race against time and beasts, Zeus and his friends must find a way to survive not only the toxin ravaging Zeus’ body, but also the giants who grow stronger after every attack, and somehow make it to the The High Court alive.

The High Court (The Sky Throne #2)
I took a step and a half toward Atlas, but Metis grabbed my waist and brought me back into port.
“That’s right,” Atlas jeered. “Pull that leash. Metis, I see you haven’t yet taught him to heel.”
Menoetius laughed as if he’d just heard the best joke ever. “What would ever possess you all to come over here tonight? Courses begin tomorrow for all of us. You should get some sleep, ‘cause you all look tired.”
I took another step forward. “Malodorous, tell me where Pallas and Perses are and I’ll let you get to whatever game you came here to play.”
“You’re funny. But not funny enough.”
Atlas dropped his arm from around Pleione’s shoulder, crossed the room, and pierced my personal space with his nose. “We’re not telling you anything. Scratch that ...” He backtracked slowly to stand in front of the doors. “I’ll make you a deal. If you get through me, I will gladly tell you where they might be.”
“You mean, through your busted lip and everything?”
Laughs and ooohs rang out around the hall.

From Goodreads:
Duality dwells at every turn, and an adolescent Zeus will learn that all too well when Hyperion attacks his family on Crete.
When the dust settles, his mother is unconscious and his best friend left for dead.
Stacking epic insult upon fatal injury, Zeus discovers the woman who raised him is not his biological mother. But to ensure her safety while she recovers, a heavy-hearted Zeus leaves her behind to seek answers at Mount Olympus Preparatory Academia.
Zeus embarks on a quest to discover who ordered the attack on his home, avenge the death of his friend, and find his birth mother. When some of his new schoolmates vanish, Zeus's quest is turned upside down, and the only way to make things right is to access the power of The Sky Throne, confront a most dangerous enemy, and take his life back.
On his way to becoming king of the Greek gods, Zeus will learn to seize power, neutralize his enemies, and fall in love.
