Demeter's Prayer to Hades

...
There are no curses—only mirrors
held up to the souls of gods and mortals.
And so I give up this fate, too.
Believe in yourself,
go ahead—see where it gets you.

Dahlia Bento has loved the Jackson family since Sally placed baby Percy in her tiny six-year-old arms and said, "Look at that, he can't take his eyes off of you."

Then, when Laurel came along just five years later, Dahlia was over the moon with happiness. She vowed at their Montauk home—hearing her little sister giggle for the first time—that there was nothing she wouldn't do for the people who took her in when she had no one left.

Well, maybe not no one, she had the kids at Camp Half-Blood, of course—Luke who made her heart swoon, Annabeth who taught her the resilience of youth, and even Hayes who pushed her buttons like no other.

But they could never replace the one person she missed the most.

On the eve of her fourteenth birthday, Sally Jackson tested Dahlia's childhood vow: Could she give up her summers and winters away to stay home and look after Percy? He'd begun seeing things and it was only a matter of time before THEY came for him. He'd need protection, and so would Laurel, inevitably.

The answer was a no-brainer,
"Yes."

Now, at the age of nineteen, Dahlia's devoted the last 5 years of her life to making sure Percy and Laurel never discovered the truth of their lineage...

But what is she to do when Percy is deemed by Zeus as The Lightning Thief?
