[ sequel to No Crown Left To Wear ]
Percy Jackson thought the war was over. The Giants and Gaia had fallen. The Doors of Death were sealed. Luke Castellan was gone, and that had been nearly a year ago.
But grief is a wound that doesn't close-and some doors never stay locked.
When Luke returns from the darkness, bleeding and breathless, Percy should hate him. He should turn him in to the gods and let Olympus decide his fate. Instead, Percy hides him. Because no matter how many battles Percy has fought, this is the one he never won: the boy he loved and lost standing in front of him again.
But Luke didn't come back alone. Whispers of Primordials rise from the edges of the world. Monsters older than the gods walk the earth. And in Luke's chest, something still ticks-something golden, hungry, and waiting.
The war isn't over.
And this time, it's not just Olympus that could burn.
