Bookroo's summary

Zeus and the Olympians battle a deadly bird swarm after a drought. Their quest for the aegis leads to a mysterious boy whose true intentions are unknown. Can they trust him, or is he a hidden threat? As they restore the land, the stakes rise with every flap of wings. Will this enigmatic figure aid their mission or bring their downfall? Discover the truth behind the chaos and the boy's connection to the Olympians in this thrilling adventure.

From the publisher

When a flock of angry birds threaten Zeus and his fellow Olympians, they need the help of a new friend–assuming the stranger is actually a friend! After a horrible drought, Zeus and his fellow Olympians are determined to help restore the land as they try to figure out their current mission, to find a special shield called an aegis. Thanks to some grateful villagers, who benefit from the rain and crops that the young Olympians magically create, they find the armor they need. But they are suddenly swarmed by birds–thousands of killer, scary birds. And when a mysterious boy appears in the chaos, it looks like he might be more connected to the Olympians than they think. Is he friend…or foe?
