While mastering both witchcraft and her divine gifts as the daughter of Apollo, Lyra begins to experience vivid dreams of a lonely vampire with crimson eyes.

Lyra Athena Blackwood has finally arrived at Hogwarts. The daughter of the sun god Apollo and the witch Marlene McKinnon is unlike any student the castle has ever welcomed. Gifted with divine power, extraordinary magic, and years of training at Camp Half-Blood, Lyra quickly discovers that being different comes with both admiration and danger. As friendships are forged with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom, mysterious events begin unfolding within the ancient castle. Secrets hidden for centuries begin to awaken, and whispers of an ancient prophecy follow Lyra through Hogwarts' halls. Far away in Volterra, Marcus of the Volturi cannot explain the strange warmth that continues to stir within his long-dead heart. Unaware that fate is weaving their destinies together, the lonely vampire king begins to hope for something he thought impossible-a second chance. With monsters lurking in the shadows, dark wizards rising once more, and destiny drawing three worlds ever closer, Lyra must learn that true strength is measured not only by power, but by the courage to protect those she loves. The legend has begun. Now, the Golden Witch of Hogwarts must prove she is worthy of the destiny written by the Fates.

Before the Olympians claimed the world... Before Voldemort sought immortality... Before the Volturi ruled in secret... A prophecy was whispered by the Fates. A daughter shall be born of magic and divinity. She will command the old powers, bend fate itself, and decide whether gods, wizards, and vampires survive the coming darkness. Her mother is one of Britain's most gifted witches. Her father is an Olympian whose very name inspires both awe and fear. Raised between Hogwarts and Camp Half-Blood, she grows into a warrior feared by monsters, respected by demigods, and admired by witches. Her wand obeys only her. Her celestial bronze blade drinks monster blood. Ancient magic answers her call. When she is nearly twenty, fate leads her to Italy. There, in the city of Volterra, she meets the oldest and saddest soul in the Volturi. Marcus. A vampire who has mourned his true mate for over a thousand years. He believed fate had abandoned him... Until the scent of the witch-goddess reached him. She isn't his replacement. She is his Second Chance Mate-a miracle the world has never witnessed. But not everyone believes Marcus deserves happiness. The Volturi will fracture. The Olympians will interfere. The wizarding world will panic. And the girl born of legend... Will either unite three worlds... Or burn them all.

Fred. George. Lucy. Three Weasleys born on April Fool's Day-and Molly Weasley should have known from the beginning that raising triplets was going to be trouble. Fred had the jokes. George had the schemes. And Lucy? Lucy had plans. Growing up in the Burrow surrounded by brothers and eventually one beloved baby sister, Lucy Weasley learns early that her family may not have much gold, but they have something far more important: a name with centuries of history behind it. Unfortunately, the rest of Wizarding Britain seems to have forgotten that. To the old pure-blood families, the Weasleys are poor. Insignificant. Blood traitors. Lucy is done accepting it. Then eleven-year-old Lucy arrives at Hogwarts, places the Sorting Hat upon her head, and becomes something her family never expected. A Slytherin. Suddenly Lucy is walking among the very children who were raised to look down upon her family. But rather than hide from the Weasley name, Lucy wears it like a crown. She's ambitious, cunning, frighteningly persuasive, and blessed with a silver tongue capable of turning insults back upon the people foolish enough to make them. Lucy doesn't want to become a Malfoy. She doesn't want to abandon everything Arthur and Molly taught her. She intends to prove that kindness isn't weakness, ambition isn't evil, and being called a blood traitor doesn't mean you have to stand there and take it. And when Lucy's growing influence reaches all the way to House Malfoy, something happens that Arthur Weasley never imagined possible. Lucius Malfoy offers to end the feud. Because Lucy Weasley isn't trying to escape her family's reputation. She's going to rebuild it. Wizarding Britain has spent generations laughing at House Weasley. Lucy intends to make sure they never laugh again. After all, Fred and George aren't the only dangerous Weasleys born that April Fool's Day. They're simply louder about it.

When Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Tyson, and Clarisse La Rue embark on a desperate quest to retrieve it, Astrid finds herself unable to stand aside. Once again, the seven-year-old Original Vampire and daughter of Ares throws herself into danger, proving that courage has nothing to do with age.

The sea is calling. Heroes will rise. And the youngest Mikaelson is about to prove that even destiny cannot keep a child of war from protecting the people she loves.
