My name is Sylvia West. First of all, you should know this story I'm about to tell you is in fact dangerous. You will not be the same after knowing the truth about this world of ours, and it will likely scar you forever. Read at your own discretion. This is the story of how I found my life. I mean that figuratively. But, this is the story of how I came to be the person I am today. It all starts with a certain quest to save my mother, the Greek goddess Artemis. My days of the weak, abused girl were over, and a new era for me began. (Does include the Percy Jackson characters and this is after the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series. I only mention Leo and the other characters from The Lost Hero+) IMPORTANT NOTE: I DID NOT READ "The Lost Hero" SERIES BEFORE THIS. SOME THINGS MAY BE INCORRECT. This is a fanfiction of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." All rights and credit go to Rick Riordan for making such an amazing series. :) ©Rick Riordan

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
