𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐀 𝐊𝐈𝐃, the only monsters you hear of are the ones that lurk under your bed and hide in your closet. When you're a kid, the only monsters you see are the ones you see in movies; the one covered in fur, having sharp fangs and talons that send shivers down your spine. Most little kids don't really see the monsters that lurk within the people they love.
Thalia Aster Soleil knows better than anyone what it's like to battle monsters every single day. Every day she's plagued by the ghost of her birth parents, who died in a car crash she and older sister Violet somehow survived. Every day, she's forced to watch her adoptive mother's dead eyes bore into her soul as she watches her body sway in the closet. She knows better than anyone how terrifying it is to fight a battle on your own; a battle against monsters no one else can see, hear or fight for you.
With a dark past that haunts the quiet girl, Thalia learnt since young that monsters don't just hide under your bed to pull off your toes in the middle of the night. She learnt about the ghosts in your head, the monsters that claw at your heart constantly, something she'd never shared with anyone. She knows better than anyone what it's like to have the ghosts of people you love plague you every single day; her birth parents, her mother, even Violet's ghost never left her.
A year after losing all her best friends (except her long-time best friend, Karolina Dean) after Nico Minoru's sister's suicide, Thalia felt lonelier than ever. She never expected that trying to reconnect with her accidental lab partner and old friend, Alex Wilder, would lead to her stumbling across peculiar cult ceremony that landed up with her being tossed into a web of lies mixed with homicidal parents, aliens and out of the world superpowers.
