Tides Between Us

Percy Jackson has done the impossible. He saved the world-more than once-survived Tartarus, turned eighteen without getting himself killed, and somehow managed to get accepted into New Rome University alongside Annabeth Chase.

For the first time in years, life is supposed to be normal.

Unfortunately, "normal" apparently involves college classes, Roman politics, impossible professors, and trying to figure out what comes after being the guy who saved Olympus.

At Camp Half-Blood, Percy could disappear into the crowd whenever he wanted. At New Rome, that's impossible. Everyone knows his name. To some, he's a hero. To others, he's a walking reminder of wars that nearly destroyed their world. The boy who fought Titans, Giants, and gods suddenly finds himself facing something far more confusing: expectations.

And Annabeth's transition into New Rome isn't much easier. As a daughter of Athena-born of a goddess the Romans still view with suspicion and controversy-she quickly learns that intelligence and accomplishments don't earn respect as easily as they should. Especially not in a city built on Roman pride.

Together, Percy and Annabeth must navigate a world without constant battles and prophecies hanging over their heads. But peace turns out to be its own kind of battlefield-filled with pressure, uncertainty, old trauma, and the terrifying possibility of building a future beyond survival.

Because learning how to save the world was easy.

Learning how to live in it might be the hardest challenge yet.
