"The Queen of the Underworld doesn't make social calls."

[ adventure, found family - book 2]

Every nightmare started with a raven.

For seven months, Alex Griffith, son of Hermes, has tried to help Chiron hold Camp Half-Blood together. He had hoped that after the Pyrrhic victory of his quest, things would settle down, but that wasn't in the cards for him. The disappearance of Percy Jackson, arrival of the Roman, Jason Grace, and rise of Gaea have seen to that.

His recurring nightmares of violent ravens, a cold lake, and a strange celestial bronze bow aren't helping. Alex is almost glad when Persephone disrupts another dream, this time in her Roman form.

He owes her everything.

Too bad she knows that. And the Queen of the Underworld doesn't make social calls.
