Potone lives in Athens with her mum, her stepdad and her incredibly annoying brother, Plato. The city is at war with the ferocious Spartans.
When Potone is not arguing with Plato, she is often overcome by her anxiety. Her stepbrother, Demos, a young man with fire in his heart and a thirst for battle, brings his war cries to the streets of Athens and the heart of their home.
But Potone and Plato’s constant bickering has set them both up to be very good at debating. Can she overcome her fears and find a way to bring peace to her home and her city?
