❝ I was empty then and I'm empty now, but it's not the same at all. ❞
— dave malloy
MABEL LARUA is a paradox. A tragedy, a disaster, and an ironic paradox. The magic that lives in her blood and her mind burns, scratching at her sanity and chipping away her resolve. She fights because she does not know where else to put the anger, becoming a hero by her own making, even when told she does not fit the image. She tries to repent, yet a dog who cries after killing is no better than a dog that does not. Guilt does not purify a sinner. But the longing sits in the cracked foundations of her heart, tugging her toward what she must have lost in another life, though they promised they would stay. She will not let it slip through her fingers again, even if it means letting the world end to stay in his arms.

PERCY JACKSON is lost. A tragedy, a hero, and hopelessly lost. His name is his legacy, nothing but the expectations thrust upon him. He was made a hero against his will, fighting only because he knows it is right. He knows the cages of rage, the anger that builds up beneath bronze skin and behind guises of heroism. It seems his whole life sits on the tip of his tongue, untouchable and imaginary. Memories rot beneath his nails and stab at his heart with their sharp knives, leaving ruts to fill with the love that he longs for. The sorrow that sits within the pit of his stomach is foreign, grief for what he'd lost in a past existence, watching it slip through his fingers like he'd prayed it would not. He will not lose it again, won't leave her even if it means he watches the earth burn beneath his feet.
