THE 8TH HALF BLOOD: BEYOND THE FATES

Three days before the Winter Solstice, a critical moment approaches when Gaea, Mother Earth, is set to awaken, threatening everything, including Percy and his friends. In this time of dire need, the demigods from Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood unite to embark on a quest foretold by the great prophecy. However, in an unexpected twist, the prophecy changes, revealing that the gods have chosen the Daughter of Gaea-you, the reader-to emerge from slumber and join the demigods on their mission. As the daughter of their greatest foe, you represent the only hope for the demigods to muster the strength necessary to defeat the ancient goddess and save the world. The question remains: Will the seven heroes of the original prophecy place their trust in the daughter of their sworn enemy to aid them in their quest?

Hello, dear readers! It's the author here. :) I've been a massive fan of Percy Jackson since my childhood, devouring all of Rick Riordan's books multiple times. I've strived to weave his signature humor throughout my story, although I must admit, the initial sections might lean more on the somber side as our heroes grapple with their challenges. Set in the timeline shortly after 'The Son of Neptune' and just before 'The Mark of Athena,' my tale weaves its path through the Percy Jackson universe (though prior knowledge isn't necessary for enjoying this book). And oh-raises an eyebrow-prepare yourselves for a dramatic entrance when you first encounter the seven prophesied heroes, including a one-on-one fight with Percy himself. But fear not, the sparks that fly might not just be those of conflict; love could be in the air, and not just with Percy. Another contender for your heart will reveal himself in due time. winks Stay tuned to find out who!
