And the drooling guard dog isn't the worst of their problems: The guys have landed smack in the middle of a feud between the gods of ancient Greece and some really ugly monsters.

Mythology gets real at Camp Hercules.... The last thing Logan wants to do with his entire summer is go to some fake mythology-themed camp, but that’s exactly what he’s stuck doing. When he gets there, it’s even worse than he imagined. Each bunk has to re-enact one of the twelve labors of Hercules, sword fighting and all. The whole thing is ridiculous...at least he thinks it is until he finds out that everything is real: Mount Olympus, the three Fates who run the trading post, and...oh wait! That can’t really be a Hydra, can it?

For most of his life, 16-year-old Errol Magnus categorically rejected the idea of being a Warden. Growing up right next to the Badlands, he encountered enough bloodthirsty monsters in the ordinary course of events; he’d never seen much sense in assuming a post that required you to actively seek them out.

Everyone must now make a choice.
