The Dionysus Effect

Love is in the air at Camp Half-Blood-and it tastes suspiciously like strawberry punch.

When the Dionysus cabin grows tired of the suffocating romantic tension clogging the summer air, they brew a magical truth potion and sneak it into the camp's beach party refreshments. Miserable in the summer heat, Nico di Angelo drinks a cup just to cool down-only to blurt out his deepest, most embarrassing secret directly to Will Solace.

Horrified by his own unfiltered confession, Nico panics and shadow-travels to the safety of the dark camp infirmary. But there is no hiding from the son of Apollo. Armed with medical instincts and secrets of his own, Will pursues him into lockdown.

As the magical potion forces Nico's remaining defenses to crumble, the two demigods are forced to face the raw, unvarnished truth about their feelings. Can their friendship survive the ultimate reality check, or will the camp's golden boy leave the Ghost King entirely in the dark?
