Everyone at Camp Half-Blood knows two things about Luke Castellan: he's dangerous, and he's impossible to ignore.
Briar Blackwood, the daughter of Hecate, learned that the hard way.
Cold, secretive, and far too powerful for her own good, briar has spent years keeping people at arm's length. Magic is unpredictable. Feelings are worse. So when Luke starts taking an interest in her - lingering smirks during sword practice, sarcastic comments that sound too much like flirting, and a habit of showing up whenever she's alone - she immediately assumes he wants something.
She's right.
Luke thinks Hecate's daughter could be useful for his plans, and briar knows Luke Castellan is nothing but trouble wrapped in a pretty smile. They clash constantly: arguments that turn into challenges, challenges that turn into tension, and tension that becomes impossible to ignore. Neither of them trusts the other, but somehow they keep ending up side by side - fighting monsters, trading insults, and uncovering secrets neither of them were supposed to find.
The worst part?
The more briar sees past Luke's arrogance and anger, the more she realizes there's something heartbreakingly human beneath it all. And the more Luke discovers the lonely girl hiding behind her sharp tongue and dangerous magic, the less he can treat her like just another pawn.
But falling for each other was never part of the plan.
Because when war begins brewing against Olympus, briar is forced to choose between camp... and the boy she was supposed to hate.
