[Tempest Series #1] "What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams." -- Werner Herzog For three years, Tessa has known Camp Half-Blood. It's her home, her training ground, the only place she can be safe as a daughter of Poseidon. However, the more she longs for the world she left behind, the more she falls victim to her own mind, witnessing haunting nightmares that might just be a prophecy of her fate. With a handful of other campers, Tessa embarks on a mission that only opens up her world to other horrors and threats, and Tessa finds herself at the zenith of it all. Cover made by @Silver_Chick

[Tempest Series #3] "It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." --William Ernest Henley, Invictus With the turn of the seasons comes a new chapter in Tessa Brennan's story as she and her companions begin college in New Rome. To Tessa, it feels like she's finally catching a break after the pain and turmoil she'd been forced to endure for four years. However, she couldn't be farther from the truth. Tessa finds herself subject to a new world of threats, with a surprising enemy leading the charge. With help from yet another shocking source, Tessa and her friends from both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter find themselves putting out the fires that their enemy ignites, before the inferno can blaze into all-out war. But with the words of the Oracle of Delphi still haunting Tessa's every move, will their efforts prevail? Or as the Great Prophecy states, will they witness the world in smoke in flame?
