Plot
Olympus needs heroesㅡeven though they'll vaporize people before admitting that. The gods have never trusted heroes, nor are they fond of them. But, wanted or not, they need heroes for the sake of their throne, and for the sake of Olympus. Semideus Academy was built, by Alexander La Caille, to train and teach demigods and creatures such as satyrs and centaurs, to be the heroes of Olympus, who will, someday, save Olympus from disaster and collapse. Semideus Academy mostly recruits their students with the help of satyrs who travel from school to school, searching for unclaimed demigods who are still clueless of who they truly are.
Being a hero has never been easy. Most heroes don't have happy endings, and rarely live long. Demigods rarely reach the age of thirty. Most die in battles and wars, and some get eaten by monsters on their quests. Unfortunately, monsters can smell demigods. The more aware of your demigod status, the stronger your scent is, and the more trouble you get in. And because of that, Semideus Academy has been titled as one of the safest places for demigods. It is protected by a magic border. No monster can enter the academy, unless someone inside calls them in, which is occasionally done for training sessions. The Mist helps prevent mortals from seeing and detecting the truth of the Academy. Where heroes see an academy across the hill, the mortals can only see strawberry fields. Everyday, new heroes arrive, and everyday the academy gets more powerful and influential.
But, as the heroes grow stronger, so do the dangers that threaten their lives, Mount Olympus, and the gods' strength itself.
Whether or not they see it coming, danger is rising, and Semideus Academy is a target in it’s path.

How come the gods moved from Greece to America?
In Percy Jackson & The Olympians, is mentioned that the gods of Olympus, and Olympus itself, moved according to western civilization, which is currently centered in United States of America. It started in Greece, moved to Rome and so on. A side of that, Greece settings are barely known and we all still unfamiliar with it. To ease things up, we're using U.S.A's settings. Everything moves. The Underworld moves and it's located under Los Angeles, Olympus is located in New York, etc. It's like the modern version of Greek and Roman Mythologies.
