Everyone knows the story of Perseus Jackson-the boy who fought monsters, braved the Underworld, and saved Mount Olympus. But they only know half the truth.
On August 18th, a twin sister was born in that New York hospital room. Her name was Ayla.
Because two children of the Big Three born together carried a divine scent so potent it would draw every monster in North America, Sally Jackson had to make a heartbreaking choice. To keep them both alive, she separated them. While Percy grew up in the neon chaos of Manhattan, Ayla was sent to the wide, dusty plains of Fort Worth, Texas.
Raised on a horse ranch with a fiercely loyal German Shepherd named Kai, Ayla knew she was different. Wild stallions obeyed her, water healed her wounds, and the moment she picked up a bow, her ADHD vanished into lethal, laser-sharp focus. At age eight, a monster attack shattered her mortal life, sending her fleeing across state lines to Camp Half-Blood.
For four long years, she slept on the floor of the overcrowded Hermes cabin, unclaimed and bitter, building a reputation as the camp's deadliest sniper. Until the summer Percy Jackson walks through the valley gates-and a glowing green trident appears over both of their heads.
The sea doesn't like to be restrained, and Ayla Jackson is about to show Olympus exactly what happens when you mess with a Texas cowgirl.
