Anthea Gallagher never wanted to be a demigod. After surviving two wars against monsters, giants, and the ancient goddess Gaea herself, she expected nothing more than to quietly disappear back into the background of Camp Half-Blood. But when the Olympian Council unexpectedly grants her a boon, Anthea makes a simple request: A chance to go home. Home to Chicago. Home to the chaotic Gallagher family she left behind. Home to a city filled with cops, firefighters, medics-and more danger than most mortals could ever imagine. But coming home isn't as simple as catching a train. Anthea carries the power of the sea in her veins as the daughter of Poseidon, a storm waiting to break beneath the surface. And Chicago has always been a city that attracts trouble-from gang wars and burning buildings to monsters that lurk where mortals can't see. As old wounds reopen and family tensions collide with the world of gods and heroes, Anthea must decide who she truly is. A daughter of Olympus. Or a fighter born and raised on the South Side. Because when monsters rise in the Windy City and the streets begin to flood with chaos... Chicago is about to discover it has its own demigod.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
