Misunderstood and overmedicated, twelve-year-old Lilith Bloom finds the prospect of a grand family reunion decidedly dull... That is, until she discovers that the rose garden surrounding her grandfather's Berlin mansion is, well, completely and utterly carnivorous. Armed with Panther, her talking pet whippet, and the help of the mute boy next door, Lilith must unravel the secrets behind the mysterious estate, all while her family remains gloriously unaware that they are about to be devoured.

I tried to dismiss the idea from my head, yet it's been a while since I've personally talked with anyone other than my close friends. I didn't even really think anyone ever knew me from "That girl at the back of the class." Yet, he did, I guess.

I feel my lungs caving in, the muscles in my legs coming to a shuddering halt. Sobbing uncontrollably, struggling to breathe, I collapse into a heap on the wet ground. It's useless. It's completely hopeless. There's no point running anymore. There's never been any point. Because no matter how fast I run, no matter how far I crawl, no matter how loud I scream for help, he will find me. He always does. This is a glimpse into what it's like to be destroyed; to watch everything you've ever loved ripped away in a blink of an eye. You're not safe. You're all alone, and nothing can save you now.

Gaea was stopped a decade ago, the monsters now reside in Tartarus, and the surviving heroes of Olympus have begun new generations of demigods. Fifteen year old Yvette Grimes doesn't know anything about this, but she does know something is different about her family; Grandma Bea has weapons and war history plastered on her walls, dad seems to be handy with water, and her mother has always been cold towards her. Yvette, however, doesn't let that get in her way; she gardens by herself and researches in her bedroom. Almost never does she glance out her window to see what goes on outside. What she doesn't notice is that it is snowing. It may not be that surprising in December, but there is more behind this heavy snowfall. Persephone has been kidnapped, again. Not by Hades, but by something else, something bigger. Demeter is causing snow to fall in an act of motherly love and won't stop until her daughter is returned to her. Inches upon inches fall every night, causing death and injuries around the world. After an accident, Yvette is shipped off to Camp Half-Blood by her father and finds herself the leader of a quest to find the queen of the underworld. With little to go on and snow falling heavily, Yvette and two others must find Persephone quickly before the whole world is engulfed in white. Cover made by @astoundedstars.
