Gods of Asphalt The Olympian gods never disappeared. They simply stopped ruling from Mount Olympus. Now they live in the shadows of the modern world, and so do their children. Demigods walk among ordinary people as students, mechanics, photographers, tattoo artists, musicians and baristas. To mortals, they’re completely ordinary. But to one another, they’re impossible to miss. Every child of Olympus carries a divine aura—a magical signature inherited from their godly parent. One glance, one feeling, and another demigod knows exactly what they are. The son of Ares feels like the start of a war. The daughter of Aphrodite is warm, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. The daughter of Athena radiates quiet intelligence. The daughter of Artemis feels like moonlight in a silent forest. No introductions are needed. Everyone already knows who everyone is. In one city, the underground street-racing scene has become the unofficial meeting place for demigods. Not everyone races, but everyone ends up there eventually. Leading the streets is TJ Hart, the feared son of Ares, alongside his best friends Ryder, son of Dionysus, and Damaris, son of Apollo. Their crew is legendary, their names whispered long before they arrive. Meanwhile, Lucy Hemingway, daughter of Aphrodite, has never cared much for engines or racing. She’d rather spend her evenings with her roommates, Kenzie, daughter of Athena, and Aaliyah, daughter of Artemis, than anywhere near a start line. Until they decide to try something different. One night. One street meet. One decision. The girls expect loud music, expensive cars, and a bit of harmless entertainment. Instead, Lucy finds herself locking eyes with the one demigod everyone warns her about. TJ Hart. The son of Ares recognises Aphrodite’s unmistakable magic the moment she steps into the crowd. Lucy feels the fierce, unmistakable aura of Ares before she even sees him. Neither of them planned to speak. Neither of them expected to care. B
