Wings of Olympus Books in Order

Wings of Olympus is a middle-grade fantasy adventure set in a myth-inspired ancient Greece, where winged horses live on the slopes of Mount Olympus and the gods still interfere in mortal lives. The series follows Pippa, an orphaned girl who has spent her life without a secure place to belong.

Her life changes when she is chosen to ride in a rare race of winged horses. Pippa is paired with Zephyr, a small but strong-willed stallion, and the bond between rider and horse becomes the core of the story. Winning matters, but so does staying together in a world where powerful people and gods make the rules.

The sky is not a safe place.

In the first book, Pippa must learn the rules of the race and face competitors who have more experience, status, and support than she does. Her determination and Zephyr's spirit make them an unexpected team. The series mixes racing scenes with Greek gods, heroes, rival riders, and the constant question of whether Pippa can trust the people around her.

The Colt of the Clouds widens the stakes. After Pippa is barred from Mount Olympus, she rescues a lost winged colt and is drawn back into the gods' world. Conflict among the immortals threatens both the winged horses and the human world, leaving Pippa, Zephyr, and new allies with a dangerous task.

The books have more action than George's cozier chapter-book series, but the emotional focus stays clear. Pippa wants a home, a fair chance, and the freedom to protect the horse she loves. Her courage does not mean she is never afraid. It means she keeps moving when the situation gets difficult.

This is a good choice for readers who enjoy horses, mythology, races, and a heroine who has to earn her place. The mythology is woven into the action without requiring prior knowledge of Greek legends.

At its heart, the series is about trust between a girl and a horse, and about choosing compassion in a world that often values power.
