Story Plot

16-year-old Vahan Petrosian has enough to worry about—homework, his longtime crush, and surviving the awkward balance of Armenian family traditions in an American high school. But when he stumbles upon an ancient artifact in his grandfather’s antique shop, he unknowingly unleashes Vahagn, the Armenian god of fire and war, who’s been trapped for centuries. Vahagn, still as hot-headed and battle-hungry as ever, decides to take Vahan under his wing, whether the kid likes it or not. Unfortunately, his awakening has also drawn the attention of other mythical beings—some amused, some annoyed, and some very determined to take Vahan down before he fulfills an ancient prophecy no one will actually explain to him. With the help of his best friends—Anahit, a fiercely independent classmate who may or may not have ties to the goddess of wisdom, and Aram, his overenthusiastic cousin with more heart than common sense—Vahan must juggle SAT prep, family expectations, and supernatural threats, all while trying to avoid becoming the next great warrior of legend. Hye Spirits is Percy Jackson meets Boy Meets World, blending coming-of-age comedy with Armenian mythology, heartfelt friendships, and just enough world-ending stakes to keep things interesting. Because surviving high school is hard—but surviving high school while ancient gods keep showing up at your basketball games? That’s a whole other level of impossible.
