Lies about how Percy was a traitor to the Gods, that he was spying for the titans the entire time. It finally came to the point where Percy was driven out of camp. But he had to have some sort of parting words to the people who had driven him out of camp, right? Of course. Perseus Jackson's final words. "I'll be back. And this time, there would be no hero of Olympus to fight for you." Completed 07/03/18

She wasn't invited onto the Argo II. She didn't ask permission. Alexandria Murphy is Percy Jackson's half-sister. Daughter of Poseidon. Altered by the goddess Khione as an infant, trained as a monster hunter from the age of six, and carrying losses that predate most of the campers she fights beside. Ice lives in her blood. A weapon lives in her skin. The math she runs on her own life has always produced the same answer: the people she loves are the people most at risk of not surviving her. This series reimagines Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus with Alex woven into the canon - aboard the Argo II, present for every battle, never part of the prophecy, always part of the cost. Three books follow the wars. Two post-canon novels follow what comes after, which turns out to be harder than any of them expected. The story is about a family that built itself out of war and is now trying to build itself out of peace. It is about dinners at mismatched tables and arguments about olive oil and a brother who makes coffee wrong every single morning. It is about what happens when the fighting stops and the people who were good at fighting have to figure out what else they are. It is also about a boy with fire in his hands who has been standing close enough to touch for years and has not. And a girl who knows exactly how far away he is at all times. The prose is slow. The characters are not. Seven books. Ongoing.
