THE REBORN | A YA Coming-of-Age Book Series
THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY!
CHRISTIAN BELVEDERE attends the Ivy-League campus of the fictional Parthenon University near Potential Street, a non-descript alley lined by the University’s twelve clubs which each bears a sign of the Zodiac. It is here that Pithon, the most notorious of the clubs, has secretly been housing select members of the ancient Greek pantheon.

Twenty-one-year-old Christian Belvedere, a third-generation Parthenon senior and recently diagnosed bipolar, seems to be the only student aware of the sinister happenings on the campus.
