Ever since Charlotte Mielswetzski and her cousin, Zee, saved the world, life has been rather ordinary.

Of course, no one knows Charlotte and Zee are heroes. It's not like they can simply announce that Greek myths are real or proclaim they have returned from the Underworld, where they rescued all of mankind from Philonecron, a deranged demigod with delusions of grandeur.
