No one saw it coming. No one could have guessed that the vaccine that was supposed to save lives, would take them instead. Once the death toll started to climb, it took less than a day for the world to change forever. When Bri's roommate suddenly develops a taste for cannibalism, she finds herself trapped in her upstairs bathroom, unable to comprehend the horrors that she sees through the small window. That limited view of the outside world doesn't begin to show Bri just how much danger she's going to be in when she finally escapes her home. Running for her life, Bri won't be alone for long. With the help of a bat wielding stranger, she barely escapes the overrun city. Together, they just might survive long enough to find a safe haven. The zombie apocalypse is a strange time to be alive. The dead walk, and eat the living, but they're not the most dangerous thing this new world has to offer. There are other survivors out there. And not all of them can be trusted.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Everyone at Camp Half blood and Camp Jupiter believe Leo is dead. However, Leo is very much alive. He just reunited with Calypso, the most beautiful deity he's ever seen. Now Leo and Calypso must make their way back from Ogygia to Camp Half-Blood. It seems like an impossible task, trekking over 1,000 miles on a rickety old dragon with monsters everywhere, on every corner. But Leo built the Argo 2, tamed the metal dragon, channeled fire. You can't stop him. You can't stop the repair boy. Meanwhile, other problems arise for the rest of the seven. Frank, Reyna and Hazel must make it back to Camp Jupiter alive in one piece. Simple enough? Wrong. It's completely on foot with monsters flooding the streets. Also, old memories begin to haunt the team, that may change them forever. The rest of the seven, joined by the Hephaestus cabin, must figure out a way to locate Leo, and get him back to camp safely. However, one factor stands in their way, The curse of cabin 9. *book trailer inside* *do not read unless you have finished the blood of Olympus. (Duh.)* *All rights go to Rick Riordan* PG RATING DISCLAIMER: some people have told me that these events in the book resemble some scenes in "Trails of Apollo." Anything that seems to resemble Trails of Apollo is purely a coincidence. I have not read Trails of Apollo and I will not read it until I have finished this book. This book began long before the Trails of Apollo was published.
