Je tentais désespérément de survivre dans ce monde infesté de Titans et régi par les Spartes, des immortels issus de douze Maisons royales qui disposent de pouvoirs quasi-divins et d’une richesse obscène. J’étais une enfant abandonnée, pauvre, timide et bègue. Je ne cherchais qu’à me faire discrète, à cacher mes cicatrices et à exceller en cours – à essayer, en tout cas. Et soudain, tout a changé... Un test sanguin a révélé que je faisais partie de cette puissante élite. Que j’étais l’une d’entre eux. Une Sparte.

"The Twelve Labours of Hercules" are a series of feats ordered by the gods carried out by Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, whose name was later romanised as Hercules.

This short story is a retelling of Hercules' legend with an elegant style that will edify children and adults alike.
