[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 #0.5] "This is one monster that even we can't destroy. It feeds off your very fears, every premonition that warns you that something, somewhere, is watching you. And maybe it is. Maybe it's watching us right now, just waiting to attack." No one is immune to fear, not even Tessa Brennan and her dauntless friends. Set the October before the events of Tempest, Wake follows Tessa and her friends on a journey that everyone only prays they never have to do: facing the thing they fear most.

[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.

[Tempest Series #4] "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." --Sarah Williams Three years from the events of Invictus, the playing field has shifted. Somewhere, Vinny Maxwell is raising an army to carry out the mysterious Project Maelstrom that decimated New Rome. Elsewhere, Tessa, Kaden, Reese, Mark, and Dale find themselves solving a mystery--demigods from both Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood are going missing, and a new foe and his cult of masked followers may have something to do with it.

Will Tessa and her friends be able to stop their new enemies after their years of peace, or will the absence of their heroics lead to more fractures in the serenity for demigods everywhere?
