~BOOK I OF THE BROKEN TRILOGY~ { highest ranking 135 in fanfiction, entered Wattys 2015 } UNDER HEAVY CONSTRUCTION. When Reyna returned to Camp Jupiter, the last thing she expected to do was to fall in love hopelessly again. After all, Jason Grace had already been her first downfall. Then Percy Jackson rejected her for Annabeth. She had long before steeled herself for the inevitable-she could never find love, anywhere. But when Nico di Angelo, her long-before "partner in rescue", turns up at Camp Jupiter, him with his shy demeanour and shady past, Reyna starts to wonder if Aphrodite was really right about her not being able to find love. A last shred of hope ignites her heart and for once again she begins to ponder the true meaning of romance and what it holds in her future. Nico has been crushing on guys like Percy Jackson for ages--there's no way he could ever like a girl. When Will Solace turns up and starts to date him, he gladly accepts, driven by his extreme loneliness and the fact that he's different from the others. "Different", as in the inevitable "Nico di Angelo is gay!" or something of that sort. However, when he travels to Camp Jupiter for a "mission" planned by his dad, his ulterior motive...brought Reyna and him even closer together. That particular "mission" is equal to his downfall. He doesn't want to admit it, but maybe Reyna had always held a soft spot in his heart. What will be of the long-estranged friends as they meet unexpectedly on the windy coasts? Did Aphrodite truly wreck Reyna's love life, or did Hades wreck his son's trust in him? Meddling in romance is not a wise thing to do...as the pair will soon find out.
