Roots That Never Fall

Everyone knows the story.

Luke Castellan died serving Kronos. Thalia Grace became the pine tree. Annabeth Chase grew up at Camp Half-Blood.

Except...that isn't what happened.

On the night they reached Half-Blood Hill, Zeus arrived seconds earlier. Thalia survived. The monsters were defeated. Three exhausted, traumatized children stumbled into camp together.

Camp expected Chiron to raise the seven-year-old daughter of Athena.

Instead, two teenagers-Luke Castellan and Thalia Grace-refused to let anyone separate them.

At fourteen and fifteen years old, they became parents in every way that mattered.
