Sometimes, the line between a blessing and a curse begins to blur...
As far as Krystal Blackwood knows, she was born to suffer and to cause suffering. Why should she, in that case, continue living at all? But no matter if the cause of is others or herself, she begins to feel like she's almost immune to death. Even her suicide attempts don't seem to work. She is dead tired of trying to figure life out.
Krystal's seeming inability to die, whilst mysterious, is pushed to the backburner in the face of more prevalent dilemmas.
In the past, she must deal with everything from piracy and work camps to poverty, perversion, and a modern day rendition of The Hunger Games.
In the present, she must deal with the devastating aftereffects of such an upbringing, as well as navigating foreign cultural and social norms, the supernatural abilities she can never again deny having, and the daily challenges and rigors of a demigod life in this new-found Camp Half-Blood. That's pretty much all she has to handle, much to her relief.
That is, until her old life decides now that things are starting to settle down a bit is a good time to come up...
In spite of the physical threats brought up by these scenarios, she must be able to outrun her past. She must keep her friends from finding out who and what she truly is, for her safety and theirs. She must read between the lines and solve the mystery behind the strings of intertwinement that link her to the lives of those around her. She must keep her inner demons at bay if she wants a second chance -- in more than one way -- at life.
Dreaded secrets.
Buried memories.
Love, friendship, and hope...
Denial, despair, loss, pain, betrayal, and death...
The Fates have more in store for Krystal yet.
