Ava has an anger problem. When she accidentally freezes a bully, she is immediately sent to a new school called Accadamia del Forte. She is sent with her brother Jay and doesn’t understand why they have been sent to this school. Her mother tells her that this is her old alma mater and that she will love being here. She kinda likes the school but keeps finding out strange things. She finds out that the purpose of the school is to help students who are related to monsters learn to control their powers. She finds out that she, her mother, and her brother are related to Medusa. She starts to realize that the school doesn’t want any of the students to think anything positive about the female gods, only the male. What if she isn’t hearing the truth? What if they go to this school to be taught a lie? She and her friends set out to find out the true story of Medusa and set everyone free from the lies.
