November Rain

The call to adventure has some real bad timing - Artemio Navarro learned that the hard way. Finally worked up the courage to come out to his family (A elegant way of saying Nav shouted "I'm not a girl!" and locked themself in the bathroom for half an hour, but as far as coming outs go they're sure it wasn't the worst) and about to finish his first year at a new school. By all accounts Nav should have earned himself a break, but no. No, the universe decided it's his time - right now!

Merlot Tien, meanwhile, had been born into this life. Literally - her older siblings were demigods who had been going to Camp Half-Blood since they were ten (Merlot was seven, then, and it felt like they'd gone to Narnia instead of just an hour's drive away.) Her mother taught her to read with myths and poetry. She could spell charybdis before she could spell establishment; she could make grapes grow before she could ride a bike. She was still in the single digits when she met her first god, and Merlot still distinctly remembers the look on Mr. D's face when the first thing out of her mouth was a casual "Hey, Dad!"

Camp Half-Blood was supposed to be a safe place for them - for all children like them. Demigods, hunted by monsters in the outside world but protected within the camp's borders. But Nav arrives to a world whose protection is weakening. Somethings poisoned their home, and they're the only ones who can safe it...or more accurately they're the only ones crazy enough to volunteer to join Clarisse La Rue on her quest to discover the Golden Fleece (But really, what's the difference?)
