Every year, on her birthday, thousands of lanterns rise into the night sky. Every year, Annabeth Chase watches them from the only home she's ever known-a lonely tower hidden deep within the forest. She doesn't know why the lights make her heart ache. She doesn't know why she dreams of a castle, a queen with lavender perfume, or a sea-green-eyed boy who always called her Wise Girl. She only knows that this year, she will finally discover the truth. Across the kingdom, Percy Jackson has spent years surviving as a thief after the disappearance of Princess Annabeth destroyed his family's life. During one disastrous heist, he steals the lost princess's crown-not to sell it, but to return it to its rightful place. Running from former allies, Percy stumbles into a mysterious tower... and is promptly knocked unconscious with a frying pan. Annabeth wants one thing: to see the floating lanterns with her own eyes. Percy wants one thing: to return the stolen crown to Corona. Their bargain is simple. One journey. One lantern festival. Then they'll go their separate ways. But as forgotten memories begin to resurface, a ruthless woman closes in, and the truth about the lost Princess of Corona comes to light, Percy and Annabeth will discover that some promises survive even when memories don't-and that home isn't always the place you remember. Sometimes... it's the person who never stopped looking for you.

Emerson Wilmore was an exemplary Ravenclaw student, known for her unwavering dedication to academics and an unyielding moral compass. However, things took a twisted and deviated turn in her life after her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory, was murdered by Lord Voldemort during the Triwizard Tournament. Now, in her Fifth-Year at Hogwarts, she is trying to navigate through her overwhelming and mind-numbing grief. Unexpectedly for Emerson, she finds herself caught in an unwanted storm of chaos that is brought by Mattheo Riddle, the Slytherin son of the man who destroyed her entire world. With his rebellious yet enigmatic, bad-boy attitude, Mattheo is everything that Emerson despises. For Mattheo however, he cannot help but be drawn to the perfect and unblemished Ravenclaw. Despite her palpable disdain for Mattheo, an unusual interest flickers. As he tries to unravel the mystery of the girl in any shape or form he can attempt, their hostile exchanges finally burn into a magnetic connection. Amid their blinding animosity towards each other, the two slowly start to discover that the line between love and hate is precariously thin, a line that they both find terrifying to cross. #1 slowburn #2 enemies to lovers #4 Mattheoriddle #2 harrypotter
