LAVINIA ERICSON, daughter of the Olympian Nike, has always been driven by the relentless pursuit of victory. But being a demigod means her victories come at a steep price. Sent to Camp Half-Blood with her brother, Sebastian, after their home is repeatedly attacked by monsters, Lavinia has learned that triumph is as fleeting as it is crucial.
NOW, on a desperate quest to save the world, Lavinia is thrust into an adventure alongside Jason, Piper, and Leo. As they journey across the country to thwart a rising darkness, Lavinia must confront not only external monsters but also the shadows of her own past. Haunted by the choices that led her here and the fear of failing those she loves, she struggles to maintain her facade of confidence.
WHEN A BATTLE leaves Lavinia injured, her resolve is tested like never before. The discovery of her brother's true parentage, the enigmatic guidance of Nike, and the camaraderie of her new friends force Lavinia to reevaluate what it means to win—and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect those she cares about.
AMIDST THE CHAOS, Lavinia learns that true strength lies not just in victory, but in vulnerability and trust. As she opens up to her companions and embraces her legacy, Lavinia discovers that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought within.
