Loyalty. What did it mean?

As the Second Titan War raged across the United States, Half-Bloods began to pick sides. To some Half-Bloods, loyalty meant fighting for their godly parent. For some Half-Bloods it meant standing beside their friends. Sometimes those two definitions of loyalty clashed. They pulled to either side of the war.

And sometimes, Half-Bloods picked the wrong side.

When the war comes to a close, the traitor Luke Castellan repents of his actions long enough to kill Kronos and is given a funeral with honor. His final act granted him redemption.

But what about the living? Who redeems them in the eyes of the gods?

This is the story of three Half-Bloods who become the sacrificial lambs on the altar of repentance to the Olympians. Because the Olympians have been called many things, but forgiving is not one of them.
