"Part 1: The Olympians"
In which Dante enters the Tower Board Room to discover that the Olympians are not who or what he thought they would be. They are all ages, they come from very different places, and to Dante’s surprise, he actually likes a few of them. His awe is quickly replaced by dread as he hears Poseidon talk about what they expect from him.
"Part 2: Iris"
In which Dante accompanies his grandfather to a small ranch house outside of the unique West Texas town of Marfa. He harbors hopes of avoiding the Olympians and the Violet Crown, but his new friend Iris shows him that there is no escaping his destiny.
"Part 3: The Map of Everything"
In which Dante is led to the basement of a very old adobe building in downtown Marfa where his friend Iris shows him a map of — literally — everything. He is able to track the powers of not only Zeus, but all the gods, goddesses, and monsters across several epochs — ancient India, China, Babylonia, and Egypt — and Dante sees how everything seems to be pointing to him and his friends.
"Part 4: Aphrodite"
In which Aphrodite begins Dante’s training. He teaches him the deeper meaning of Step Four (“Tell No One”) and shows him that it is all about truth — discovering the truth, feeling the truth, and then telling the truth. But just as Dante is catching on, his studies are interrupted by someone unexpected.
"Part 5: Ares"
In which Dante learns how to build a shield from the Olympian security chief, Ares. In the course of his study, Dante learns that the god of war is much more complicated than he first assumed — complicated and, to his surprise, kind.
"Part 6: Artemis"
In which Dante learns something very surprising about his Grandmother, whom he had never met. He also continues his training with Artemis and focuses on Step One — “keep your eyes open” — only it isn’t his eyes he works with... but his nose.

"Part 8: Hermes"
In which Dante learns all about the stars and how their constellations tell the story of where power comes from, how power had historically been used, and what the mission of the gods really is. And he learns all this in a most peculiar place — from the man he least wanted to see.
"Part 9: Poseidon"
In which Iris explains the nature of the Marfa lights and how she needs Dante to fulfill his destiny to unite the Gods against the Old Ones. Later that day, this is reinforced by a surprise meeting with Poseidon who has some very concerning news for him.
"Part 10: Hera"
