The story takes place in a modern-day city that feels like a blend of old-world charm and contemporary life. Think a small, picturesque town with a rich history of Greek architecture, mythology, and local legends. The school they attend is renowned for its academic excellence but also its strong focus on history, particularly Greek mythology, which is a major theme in the story. The two main characters' paths cross in both unexpected and forced ways, setting the stage for their slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers arc.
